As of 1 July 1935, new requisitions will be filled with Model 35 helmets.Intermediate sizes (61,63, 65, and 67) will be achieved by variation of the liner. The previous helmet sizes (60, 62, 64, 66, and 68) will be retained.The allowable duration of wear remains the same. Test results, descriptions and instructions for adjusting and wearing the helmet will be issued at a later date. It has a somewhat higher visor the visor, sides and neck apron are somewhat shortened. The new helmet has no ear cutouts nor ventilation lugs. The improved model has been designated as the Stahlhelm 35 and it will replace the helmet which up until this time was used by both mounted and unmounted troops. In consideration of the drawbacks of the current steel helmet (hindrances to sight and hearing while slighting, shooting and operating optical devices) a new helmet model was developed and it has proved to be practical in tests by training and research personnel."General Army Correspondence" number 289 made the following statement: The new helmet was designated as the "Steel Helmet 35" (Stahlhelm 35) by the Supreme Commander of the Army. Testing of the new helmet was concluded in the beginning of June 1935. The vulcanized rubber helmet did not perform well during its tests and so the development of a new helmet was undertaken.

T is no stamping on the tabs of these rivets that I can make out. But brass was scrapped in favor of zinc/steel/manganese alloy in rivet construction with the then newly designed M40 helmets. Perhaps that is the reason for the eventual use of zinc for this plating. In consequence, original helmet paint almost never add to this plating. As pictured, they display the nickel plating often used. Is a set of original WWII German combat helmet liner split rivets w/washers. ![]()
