WW2 German M35 Luftwaffe Single Decal Helmet Named & With Fieldpost Number

A WW2 German M35 single decal luftwaffe helmet with Luftwaffe LBA marked chinstrap & soldiers name & Field Post number painted to underside of rim.
A good proportion of the factory paint remains to helmet with a darker blue having been applied later on as per the M40 spec. On the left side one can see small traces of the national tricolour shield underneath the M40 overpaint, a part of this may have been removed before it was overpainted. Underside of rim gives us the maker & size 'SE66' with batch number to rear of '4283' . The handpainted name & field post number of ' UFFZ Frerichs L.32077 ' has been applied to the rear & will enable further research of the owner of this helmet. Chinstrap is of brown leather & has the luftwaffe inspection marking found on only the earliest of helmets of 'LBA' ( Luftwaffe Bekleidungsamt' .
Leatherwork received a collector applied coating of oil some years ago when these helmets were not as rare as they are now .
