A very nice, completely original M35/40 Luftwaffe, single decal combat helmet, complete with the 31 liner and chin-strap dated 1940. A great helmet with much character. The original owner name is in cream paint around the inside the reverse neck of the helmet, but unfortunately is nearly unreadable. What is most unusual is the helmet colour is GREEN, and always has been! The decal is still 85% visible. Luftwaffe helmets are usually blue/grey, but I do know, due to order restrictions or shortages, green ones were used for combat purposes. I am not a helmet expert, but this is a great example of a battle worn, 100% original 'tin lid'! |

Like all collectors, I try to specialise, but sometimes something else comes along that 'takes your fancy'! This is a fantastic, 100% original, but NEVER issued ASSAULT GUN WRAPPER. In the typical green/grey this was one of dozens of original uniforms purchaced from Russian film studios about 10 years ago. The interior of the grey silk-like lining is stamped in ink in several places the Russian film company name. Of course it is also marked with the German issue stamps, underneath the left arm hole " Munich Fabrik" made in 1942 with size stamps etc. Below that the film company has stamped 1943. The tunic is 100% complete with matching collar patches and epps, the BEVO eagle and swaz in machine sewn through the outer fabric, but NOT through the lining, so completely original! The jacket is MINT apart from a few small moth nips at the back of each cuff, and a couple on the rear of the tunic. A unique opportunity to acquire an ORIGINAL tunic in unissued condition. Actually an assault gun wrapper is rarer than the black panzer wrapper, but slightly less romantic!!! These sell for 1800-2000 on other sites. I have priced this VERY realistically. |
