New to forum with new to me SD M40

[ObKrieger]

Just for your reference, here is mine. It is DN137.

Take a look at the decal on mine. Compared to other Heer decal variants, the Quist 'Bigfoot' has larger feet and a flatter head. Fakes of these are made but yours appears to be a good one. These decals are only found on Quist shells.

By the way, my liner band is dated 1942 so I imagine yours would be too.

By the way Josh, my 'Q62' is on the side.

Also, I would like to welcome you to the forum. We have a lot of great people here and this place will save you a lot of headache.

A nice one, my compliments and welcome!

These pics just go to highlight the KM / Toned Heer debate, some pics are very obviously Heer (which it is), but some in this group with different lighting would perhaps be questioned as KM.

A nice chunky Quist Heer, with big Q nipples which always please me.

Thanks to all for the comments. I will try to add better photos later. As well as an M35 from the same seller, but that one is just a shell.

Very nice helmet you have there.. May I ask if Q62 is stamped to the side of the helmet, or is it stamped at the rear, above the lot number?

Josh

It is stamped on the side.

It is stamped on the side.

Thanks very much, a nice helmet!
