GERMAN WW2 M35 DD DEUTSCHE AFRIKA KORPS LUFTWAFFE CAMOUFLAGED HELMET

German World War 2 Air Force DAK camouflaged double decal M35 helmet by NS.

Tropical/desert steel M35 type (first "modern" German helmet) helmet made by NS (Emaillerwerke A.G. / Fulda). Rare size - 60, with a very early D173 lot number. Textbook camo pattern with a complete Luftwaffe decal ghosting through the paint and on the opposite side, there looks to be a national shield decal that was painted over. Goat skin type leather liner comes with original draw string. The helmet is equipped with an early, aluminum hardware variant chinstrap which has very faint markings which we were unable to read.

It has been a while since we have seen such a beautiful and rare WW2 African campaign desert camo helmet. It will be an amazing addition to your Deutsche Afrika Korps militaria collection.
