GERMAN WWII AFRIKA KORPS M35 HELMET, LARGE SIZE.

A very large size impressive M35 helmet with tropical sand and textured paint being the true Afrika Korps yellow not the more common North Africa and Italy found version. It is widely known amongst Afrika Korps collectors that the true colour of paint used by the early Afrika Korps is this pink and sometimes orange tinged camouflage, a very subtle difference from the more commonly seen tropical paint used widely. The Army eagle and swastika decal is visible with a few abrasions. The unmarked chin strap is soft and supple as is the intact nine tounge liner with original draw string. one tougne stamped liner size 60, no shell size visible due to thick paint on the under rim of the helmet. The name M.Rebling is hand written in pen to one liner tounge and a brown paper label is still attached to the leather liner with what appears to be the same name also hand written. A truly stunning looking helmet with researchable history.
