WWII German M35 Double Decal Polizei Helmet EF64

This German M35 Police helmet is an authentic example of wartime headgear used during World War II. The helmet is a double decal (DD) M35, one of the earlier helmet configurations produced before later wartime simplifications.
The shell is factory marked EF64, indicating production by Emaillierwerke Fulda, with the helmet dated 1939. Helmets from this manufacturer and period are frequently studied by collectors researching early-war German steel helmets.
This piece is identified as a reissued police helmet, a practice that occurred during the war when previously issued army helmets were repurposed for police units. Evidence of this can be seen in earlier decals visible beneath the Polizei decals, showing the helmet’s transition during its service life.
The helmet also features the name “Utzinger”, likely belonging to the original wearer, adding a personal historical element. Named helmets are often of special interest to collectors because they provide a possible link to the individual who used the equipment.
With clear signs of wartime service and reissue, this example represents a genuine combat-used helmet, reflecting the evolving use of equipment within German forces during WWII.
Suitable for advanced militaria collections, historical research, or museum displays focused on German WWII equipment.
