WW2 ORIGINAL GERMAN M35 EREL VULKANFIBER OFFICERS PARADE HELMET ULTRA RARE
DESCRIPTION:
Offered to you is this extremely rare WW2 original German Wehrmacht M35 style Vulkanfiber high ranking officer’s parade helmet. These helmets were developed in the 1930s to be used as replacements of the heavy steel combat helmets during lengthy parades. Their design prevented neck strain and fatigue. It is painted in feldgrau color (95% intact) and bears a single German flag decal.
Note to eBay: This helmet does not have and never had any offensive symbols and is in full compliance with eBay rules and policies!!!
This particular helmet is nearly unique as only few are known to exist worldwide. It was initially intended to be sold to the Chillean army and therefore some of the markings are in Spanish. Later the increased demand for such helmets in Germany lead to it being factory painted and the appropriate decal applied to be used by a Wehrmacht general or high ranking officer. It bears complete markings on the inside DRGM (Deutsches Reich Registered Design) etc.
There was a strike on the very top of the helmet and there are traces of that slight damage visible on the inside. The original leather liner is in good shape, the original chinstrap has some age cracks but is with 100% original dye. The metal edge is slightly detached at the front of the helmet (see photos).
Overall an exceptional helmet of great rarity. Would proudly take its place in any private collection or museum.
German WWII items were destroyed at a great scale after the war by all participating countries. A couple of years ago we were able to completely buy out probably the only untouched military warehouse of leftover captured German WWII equipment including some precious Lazarett field hospital equipment and sets. Most of our items come in original, boxed and unused condition since the war. Most of the German military and medical items that we own and currently sell are among the only left of its kind in the world. Our stock is limited and like every good thing will soon come to an end, so take advantage of this opportunity to own authentic German WWII items.
