WW2 German M35 Luftwaffe Double Decal Helmet

A double decal M35 pattern Luftwaffe helmet as worn by ground combat troops , flak crews etc with second pattern eagle & tricolour shield to right side. Shell is finished in the classic blue of the Luftwaffe this having darkened slightly with age . All of the three liner pins retain their original blue colour & are totally undisturbed. Luftwaffe eagle shows some age tone with tricolour shield having some scuffing but overall still very visible. Interior shows reinforced auminium liner band . Leather liner is very good & intact with its original drawstring , I have made no attempt to lift it. Maker mark & size to shell 'Q64' with batch number to rear rim appearing to be '759' . Finally , the chinstrap is in the early brown leather of the luftwaffe with Luftwaffe inspection mark 'LBA' to underside. This appears to have been casualty cut with cut marks rather than degeneration of the leather.
