SS m40 for review

[vonbrugge]

Seller claims this is an original SS helmet, thoughts? The price is suspiciously good but you never know...
I believe it is a Q64.. I have no experience at all when it comes to SS helmets so all input will be very much appreciated

Hi, well I am not convinced with the chinstrap but apart from that I see no reason why it may not be a genuine SS M40. That said, there is so little of a "potential" SS decal left that I would not pay anymore than the general asking price of a nice no decal helmet. There is honestly no way of telling if that decal was original from what we can see left. Leon.

Would 400 be a good price?

Hello, 400 what? Pounds no way! Dollars? Possibly, but I would be thinking nearer £250 here in the UK as there really is no way of saying for certain if this was a genuine SS helmet from the remains of the decal. The maker and lot number may give a better indication but that's as good as it gets! Sorry!! Leon.

Hi Leon,
It is said to be a Quist M40 with a lot number DN 355 which, on the "other" forum, someone has stated it would be correct to be an SD SS.

Thanks Ralph, well if it is a Q64 then it does have a chance of being an SS Q64 DN355 according to the old "ice" book. I still would not pay a premium for this example though! Leon.

I agree.
