Hold(MM)WW2 German M35 Combat Helmet (Project Piece) . HG1547

WW2 German M35 Combat Helmet. Exterior is heavily worn condition and decal has been removed, I believe this looks like it may have been a reproduction decal. Helmet liner in worn condition and still has drawstring. Chinstrap appears to be a reproduction. Marker and size mark on interior rim ET64 (for the maker of Eisenhüttenwerk Thale, Eisenhüttenwerk ThaleEisenhüttenwerk Thaleand and size 64). Production/Lot code on inner rim appears to be: 4296. Project or parts piece.

Additional Notes: The German combat helmets produced from 1935 to 1945 had two factory stampings punched into the side and rear or both in the rear. The alpha numeric number refers to the factory location (ET, SE, Q, NS, EF, HKP) and the inside metric circumference in centimeters. The rear lot number refers to the production run and was used as a quality control measure. There we three main combat models produced: the M35, M40, and M42. Each reflects a different phase of the war, from pre-war precision engineering to mass production under siege conditions.
