Quist M40 Luftwaffe - Tropical

[HoundsTooth]

JB - yes, this is what I see also. With the inside blue paint, the side stamp maker + size, and the 1942 liner I think this is a fair assumption.
Thanks

Beautiful helmet, Nick.
I’m green with envy.

I’ve been searching for years for one like this, to complete my Luftwaffe tropical collection.
Fantastic find and I’ve enjoyed the detective trail of this thread too!

All the best,
Bob

Thanks Bob - I looked at quite a few of these but I really liked this one. I really wanted a 'one look' authentic helmet. Of course it wasn't cheap, but I did get something of the list price and free postage. The pictures don't really do it justice.
This weekend I pick up a second hand bookshelf which cost me next to nothing. I'm going to paint it satin white and I think it will really look good with my items on it - quite excited about putting together the display.

Very nice lid Nick. Always nice to find one that hasn't been messed about with.
