WW2 German M35 Double Decal Luftwaffe Helmet With Cut Chinstrap

A recently surfaced double decal Luftwaffe helmet coming straight from an attic in Europe.
Helmet is a model 35 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. Leather liner is very good & intact & complete 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 ' 694' . Finally , the chinstrap is in the early brown leather of the luftwaffe with Luftwaffe inspection mark 'LBA' to underside. This has been cut at the centre & quite possibly the result of having been removed from an injured soldiers head or belt kit .
