Heer M35 double decal helmet by Quist size 64, batch number 6226 or 8226. Helmet is from a lifetime collection of Eastern Front relics and this being one of the most premier items. While helmet does exhibit oxidation/wear from exposure, this one is preserved incredibly well. The helmet features much of its apple green paint finish with very nice Adler and good National Colors decals. The helmet still bears original liner and chinstrap and bears the inscription “UFFZ Mathias Schafer 40424.” This feldpost number corresponds to:
Uffz. Matthias Schäfer
Feldpost 40424 Headquarters, LI.Armeekorps (51st ArmyCorps)→ 2nd Army in late 1940/ spring 1941
→ 6th Army from the
1941 Russian campaign through Stalingrad
This is an incredibly historical helmet that would be a fine addition to any collection. COA accompanies.
