German WH M35 SD ALUMINIUM Combat Helmet

In a stunning condition and extreme rare to find a German Wehrmacht (Heer) M35 Single Decal Combat helmet.
The helmet comes in Aluminium (!) and is the first we ever have seen as combat version and not parade version.
The helmet is nicely maker marked by NS (Vereinigte Deutsche Nickelwerke AG, Schwerte) and comes in size 64.
The helmet has the original lining original applied inside and comes in size 57 as stamped.
Attached to the liner is a very nice early Aluminium chinstrap original attached.
The helmet shell has it's original dark grey paint for 96% intact and a Wehrmacht decal that is tried to remove and still visible for 15%.
Neverteless this helmet is maybe one of a kind Aluminium made version, maybe as an selling example or as try-out.
A very stunning and hard to find item for a helmet collector!
