| Original Sturmabteilungen: SA-Standarte Feldherrnhalle M35 Helmet. What a lucky find! This was a vet bring back helmet that unfortunately the vet or someone else removed most of the exterior finish and scraped at the decals with steel wool or something similar. The liner had been removed and the helmet sprayed black inside and out, the exterior recieved an additional green layer of paint also. The original brass rivets are in good shape, minus the washers. The shell is marked NS66. The liner is dated 1938. Chinstrap tip is gone, but strap is in good condition. I removed the post war paint inside and out. The original Luftwaffe blue paint with light brown Feldherrnhalle paint over it can clearly be seen. This would be the correct configuration as you can tell by the decals (what's left of them), you can make out where the Luftwaffe bird was under the brown paint and the SA decals placed over top.

| Original Early German WWII helmet liner. This is the liner that was removed from the M35 SA Feldherrnhalle helmet listed above! This liner has a reinforced aluminum band that retains a nice round shape. It is marked "Max Densow, Berlin S.O. 36, 1938" & "66n.A./58". The leather is in very good, plyable condition, but does show wear and a few surface cracks on the fingers. The original tie string is intact and longer than you usually see. Due to the M35 helmet this came out of having been over sprayed with paint, there is some paint spray on the leather as you can see in the pics. I wasn't sure how to remove it, so I didn't touch it. Liner band retains it's nice original round shape. *SOLD!* |
| Original Early German WWII helmet chinstrap. This is the chinstrap that was removed from the M35 SA Feldherrnhalle helmet listed above! The leather is still very soft and plyable. The tip is missing and there are three staple/wires holding the pieces together since the stitching is gone, probably post war done. The buckle is aluminum. Nice original early chinstrap. *SOLD!* |

| *NEW!* Just found this one out of a WWII vet's estate in Minnesota. Extremely rare black Allgemeine SS single decal helmet. It is an Austrian transitional style helmet with the outer bolts removed. Painted as early black SS helmets were with satin black outside and inside the rim without removing the liner. You can see some black paint on the edge of the liner. The interior has alot of surface rust. Original liner is intact with the original drawstring, but very worn condition. All split pins and washers are there, split pins are the early brass type. The chinstrap buckle end is original, but the long end is different, so I'm not sure when it was added or changed. The SS decal is in very good condition and shows consistant wear, it's "into" the paint surface. Not sure why there's not two decals, it doesn't appear to have ever had a decal on the other side. *SOLD!* |
