Re: Quist M42/ Opa's luftwaffe helmet
Hi Pablo, you can try selling your helmet on here or ebay maybe?
As for buying a Luftwaffe M40, click on this one I found for you! The Collector's Guild

Re: Quist M42/ Opa's luftwaffe helmet
The collector's guild is an expensive place to buy. You should find a decent LW lid for 800$ and up , condition will set the price.
They are not that hard to find either , I would avoid ebay if you don't know a lot about these helmets.

Just about every dealer will have a variety of Luft M40's for sale. They are very common. Check around online and I'm sure you will find plenty.

Re: Quist M42/ Opa's luftwaffe helmet
There are some fair priced SD M40 Luft helmets at this site in varying conditions:
Military War Relics, Antiques and Collectibles, RJW Militaria
I've been told by others on here that the dealer is reputable however as with all purchases, research is key. And when in doubt, of course post on here for others to provide feedback.
Good luck in your hunt!

Re: Quist M42/ Opa's luftwaffe helmet
The photo looks like it may be an M35 with it's pronounced vent lug - can't say
for sure. M35 helmets are usually more expensive.
Luft M40's though, are not that hard to find as stated - in fact I saw two SD's
just days ago for $450 and $650, but they were 'tired' looking with rough,
worn liners and minimal decals remaining. Condition is important, and as
'Schwerpunkt' also mentioned above and will definitely
reflect the asking price.............

Fair priced doesn't always mean collectible , I would avoid most of these and spend a little bit more for a complete helmet with a nice liner and strap.
Patience is the key.

Thanks Yuengling. Does this place accept trade-ins? I saw a Quist 64 m42 "Hell's Angel" helmet shell on their website similar to mine for $225 and wonder if I could trade mine in for credit on a good luftwaffe helmet.
