UP FOR SALE IS MY \"ORIGINAL\" M35 GERMAN HELMET SHELL. I FOUND THIS IN AN ESTATE SALE IN SOUTH NEW JERSEY. A RELATIVE ON LOCATION AT THE SALE SAID HIS GRANDFATHER BROUGHT IT BACK FROM GERMANY AFTER THE WAR. THE GUY HAD NO USE FOR IT AND DIDN\'T WANT GERMAN STUFF IN HIS HOUSE.
I BROUGHT IT TO AN APPRAISER IN SOUTH NEW JERSEY WHO CONFIRMED IT WAS DEFINITELY AN ORIGINAL M35 GERMAN HELMET SHELL. AND IT IT WAS MADE IN EISEN-UND HUTTENWERKE, AG THALE/HARZ GERMANY.
I STRIPPED IT BUT COULD NOT STRIP THE INNER OLIVE DRAB PAINT BECAUSE ITS BAKED ON AND OLD. I CLEANED IT UP AND NOW ITS READY FOR PAINT.
THE INTERIOR REAR OF THE SKIRT ITS STAMPED \"4080\" AND THE RIGHT SIDE INTERIOR OF THE HELMET ITS STAMPED \"ET66\".
NOTE: I DON\'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT GERMAN HELMETS. WITH THAT BEING SAID I\'M GOING TO LIST IT FOR SALE AT WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A FAIR PRICE.
THANKS
