Former Double Decal M35 - Combat Overpaint - Named
Here is another combat vet, a former double decal helmet (of what branch who knows) to which a coat of rough grey paint was brush applied in the field for camouflage purposes. You can make out the silhouette of the decal on the left, which clearly is not a Luft Adler, but I can’t determine what is under the paint, and I can’t make out anything on the right. Maybe it was scraped before the over paint. Anyway, it is a Q64, lot # 742, with an unreinforced aluminum banded liner with stained but supple leather and a complete but broken chin strap, named to Heer Bocker. Nothing exotic, just a solid combat used piece that to me screams "been there!" Hope you like it. Jim G.
