Late war?

It's a 35/40 and with single decal.
For me, a late war helmet would be an M42 with no decal :)

I know everything can be found, and that M42s with single decal are not even rare. My point was just that, for me, the late war helmet 'look' is the m42 with no decal :)

dog green 1,

It is an original shell that had a post war paint job and a friend of mine repainted it. How it looks is what it looked like when i got it back from him. I have another shell that i am going to give him to repaint and put an SS decal on.

Nice scarey, that's the type of weathering you get from actually using it :)

It looks the part, but it looks like someones messed about with it.
Just my opinion, i'd sand off them painted on Sigrunes as well!

It does indeed. I bid on it not expecting to win, and it was better than I expected when it arrived.
