I have what appears to be a German m35 helmet but I don’t know a lot about them. I know there are a ton of replicas out there , can any experts chime in and help me out and tell me if it’s legit or not.

Real German m35 helmet?

Crappy leather makes me think its real.
No expert but that looks like a good size 64 Heer helmet.
Looks like it could be an honest helmet. If you’re ever near Ft Oglethorpe there’s a museum/surplus store called The History Company. They’ve authenticated helmets for me in the past.
Nice helmet. It appears to be a double decal (Wehrmacht and National decals) M35 Size 64 manufactured by F.W. Quist (Q64). Is the vent riveted or molded into the helmet? That was difference between the M35 and M40. The liner appears original with draw string and there might be a faint stamp in the top of the helmet under the liner but it’s hard to tell from the pictures.
Looks real as compared to mine. If the metal liner pulls out the year and other info is stamped on the outside of the liner
Ok the only other number I can see are the tabs that hold the liner in say “KA39”
It looks like it’s riveted to the helmet . I’ll look under the liner for a stamp but I don’t think I saw one
I’ll pull the liner off tomorrow and check it out
