Anti Glare M35 Gothic Line Find
Hello everyone,
Once again I come to you for help, I do not want to make a habit of this as it may get annoying for you but I enjoy talking to you guys as well as leaning.
To start off, this is an M35 I have been offered. The seller is from Italy and part of the Associazione Linea Gotica, and this helmet was found in/around Loiano in Italy. On the liner it has the previous owners name, and if I look into battles along the Gothic Line around Loiano, it seems that this helmet was from the German 65 Infanterie Division in Loiano!
The helmet is in worn condition, but during the war it was covered in a Green Anti Glare Paint, to combat the shiny Italian sun. It has the liner and chinstrap, the chinstrap seems wartime repaired. Overall I believe it is a nice helmet, I have a question about the liner pins, they seem a bit shiny, or is that just where the paint has worn off?
The seller is asking 400 which will include shipping from Italy, which seems fair. Opinions?
