This is a German Model 1935 helmet issued twice within the Waffen-SS. Featured on each side are decal insignia: a CA Pocher pattern SS runic shield on the right and Nazi swastika shield on the left. Clearly noticeable are the original issued insignia beneath the top layer of paint. The names “Katzmazik” and “N. Bösch” are written on the interior of the helmet. The presence of overlapping insignia and two names indicates this helmet was reissued.
