It looks like a good Quist sd M40 shell with the expected "Big Foot" Adler. From the pictures, I am not sure about the liner or chin strap. The color of the liner makes it look a little like some that are coming out of Latvia, but I can't tell for sure. Better interior shots would be very helpful. Jim G.
Thank you very much for the quick reply. They are asking $830 - sounds kinda high to me with the liner issue. I was also suspect of the liner.
The shell appears good to me, but the liner looks dodgy - like it's a replacement
or it has been treated with something to age it - The chinstrap looks repro.
The asking price will probably be alot more than it is really worth if the seller
is claiming it to be genuine. I suppose a helmet like this should be around
$800 - $1200, if real and 'unmessed with'.
There will be more knowledgeable opinions on it, I'm sure.........

Steve.
Thank you for the weigh in Walkwolf.
Steve, i dont see the tell tail dot on the talon and my looking at the decal there is a marked difference between the two wing borders, both top and sides, is this normal for a Big Foot, also i agree that the liner looks suspect and the chin strap, i know it says its a Q but the numeral beside looks like an 8, am i reading too much into this, cheers dave
Cheers for that Steve, I thought there was a thread on here some time ago about the differences with the wings that proved authenticity but i must be recalling it wrong
That decal looks like this one that I paid $5 for at a gunshow.
