Appears to be a "Q" shell.

Thanks for that.....I'm still learning the intricacies of the helmet manufacturers....the Luft lid is a Q

Looking at my pics there is a definite similarity in the Luft and SS

Very nice! I like it! Why is the rivet hole filled?

**AMTG** · 02-13-2012, 07:27 AM

It has a liner....a 1943 dated liner that is not original to the helmet......the member I bought it off had a old relic liner from another helmet that he had placed in this shell.....it is in firly good nick, with a lot of the leather still intact

I have some relic liner pins that are still useable...so I may be able to fit the liner, but be able to return it to its originsl non liner condition without damaging it

It staying with me forever and ever
