Therefore, many M35s will display a finish and decals different than what they were originally issued with. During this refurbishment process, it was common for a helmet to receive a new paint application, a new decal, a new liner, and any other necessary work. These helmets often went through refurbishment during the war. Many collectors seek these early helmets due to the workmanship and decal configuration. The M35 helmet was commonly issued with two decals-known to collectors as a "double decal".
These helmets, depending on the factory, were issued in various shades of green.
M35 helmets are known for their superior construction and paint finish. Manufacturing of the M35 began some time around 1935, and the German High Command began issuing the new model helmet to all branches of the military between 1935 - 1937.
