A remarkable example of a double decal M35 Army helmet which just so happens to be named to "Kramer" on the interior leather liner. The lot number is 3243 and the chinstrap is maker marked as well. For me this example really can't be upgraded!
The exact cap featured in my uniform display. The body is of fine black wool and with a cap band of black velvet, cap band and crown with aluminum metallic piping, having a black composite visor and metallic chin cord, the silver pebbled buttons holding the chin cord are SS RZM marked, the high quality silvered SS national emblem and Totenkopf are affixed with prongs but these do not penetrate the lining, there is no sign of previous insignia ever having been installed, cap lining is of black rayon, the plain celluloid sweat diamond is missing about an edge section about 3cm in length and has a paper size stamped 56 tag inserted, a fabric RZM tag is installed inside the leather liner - Tuchmütze für SS and its impression may also be seen on the rear of the pliable brown leather sweatband, there is also the stamp 3X at this position of the sweatband, the orange sponge padding that had formerly been installed behind the inner front sweatband has crumbled away but traces remain, a small tear where sweatband meets visor edge may have been closed with a tiny amount of glue, the black SS RZM stamping is applied to the visor's underside, the cap is in excellent condition and retains its high peak and quality shape, the cap spring is still in place, there are no holes, tears or repairs and little sign of actual wear.
