Item H627: Exterior displays battlefield wear with approx 75% of the factory paint remaining. There is what appears to be a small arms bullet strike which left an indentation on the left side.

Super tight fitting liner system 100% original to the helmet. All three untouched split pin rivet fasteners intact and complete with all three slotted washers. Leather liner is undamaged, somewhere between pliable and stiff, and has taken on a darkened aged appearance. The entire drawstring is there but has broken. I wouldn’t recommend replacing it because it is part of the helmets history. Buckle end of chinstrap is steel. Long portion of strap is in full length, somewhere between pliable and stiff, manufacturer and 1940 date on tip. The next awesome part of this helmet is it the fact that it’s named to Walter Schmitt and has the Feldpost Nr scratched on the rear of the flared edge. It was hard to capture completely in photographs but most of it can be seen below. I’m positive someone can research it in the archives and find more information on Schmitt and the battles he engaged in.

WWII M35 ET62 German Army Camo Helmet
Item H620: Here is a very interesting helmet. It began life as a double decal Heer. It was then painted a tan Mediterranean/DAK camo over the factory paint. At some point it was then painted a gray over the tan as clearly demonstrated in the photographs. Both tan and gray paint were applied around the Heer decal leaving it exposed. Whereas, both tan and gray were applied over the National tri-color decal on the right side. A ghosting of the decal and crazing in the paint can be seen where the decal still sits. It is common for camouflage paint to craze if applied over top of a decal. Also to note, there are two sets of Heer decals. One over top of the other. The original decal can be seen where a small portion had chipped away in the breast of the top decal. All very unique and quite a story to tell. The inside rim of the helmet has been painted gray. Some of the overpainted gray is on the aluminum liner band. Tight fitting liner system 100% original to the helmet. All three untouched split pin rivet fasteners intact and complete with all three slotted washers. The rivets have been untouched and are fused with paint and oxidation to the helmet as demonstrated in the USB microscope photographs.
