I have an account on GHW2, though I don't use the site a lot, mainly for looking at helmets :D

And yes, I got it at the auction taking into account that is was most likely messed with post war.

I think the liner stands a chance at being the original one, as the rough finish paint does not appear very worn either (the slate gray is still preserved beneath the blue post war paint)

I agree with your thoughts on the chin strap, could be a good one or a fake, I'm still on the fence as of yet.

The thing with the M35 is that I simply didn't have that much money at hand, I had sold a bunch of items and got together around 1200 but as bidding went up, I opted out, especially since the auction house wouldn't supply me with decent photos of the decals while they advertised them as fakes so I preferred to rather pass on it instead.

I probably won't keep this one for too long as I already have a ND Q M40 but took it because I know it will be worth more in parts than what I spent on it to fund getting something better which is my actual aim.

Since I'll then be able to afford something better in the end. Plus I don't mind doing the odd paint removal on post war messed with helmets as long as the paint comes off easily :D
