Original German WWII Named Luftwaffe M35 Double Decal Steel Helmet with Liner & Chinstrap - marked Q64 Russian Field Gear arming the grenade to detonateOriginal Item: Only One Available. This is a very nice all original example Model 1935 German WWII "double decal" helmet with a Luftwaffe Eagle decal on the left side, and a "National Colors" decal on the right. The use of the second decal was discontinued in 1940, and in 1943 it was ordered that helmets with the national colors have them removed, so finding a helmet with both still intact is a real treat!
