Rarely seen maker mark. I dont think anyone knows exactly which maker it is. I'd like to see more and closer pics, making sure this isnt a post war repaint.

Re: QVL66 M42 Mint Unissued?
More pics would be great to help be sure about the repaint factor, I'm not sure but it has a chance I think. The liner is spliced, which is fine, and I suppose goes with the late war mentality of not wasting good materials. Are you going after this one Corey?
Dan QVL is a very rare late war maker as Todd says, '44/'45 sorta' time? I have some voice telling me they were made at a factory in the Reich outside of Germany, Czechoslovakia maybe.... I might be making this up.
Edit; looking closely, the chinstrap does look to have been dyed red, what do you think Todd, you had one of those didn't you?

Re: QVL66 M42 Mint Unissued?
Here is no longer a chart from Brian Ice's book showing the QVL manufacturing date. They were manufactured so late, it makes sense that many were unissued.

That is the coolest boring looking chart I've seen in a long time mate, definitely saving that. Very useful.

Re: QVL66 M42 Mint Unissued?
Krad you may be right about the chinstrap. It looks to have rubbed off on the edge of the visor. I'm thinking about going for it just because it is a QVL, as long as the price doesn't get too high.

Re: QVL66 M42 Mint Unissued?
Hopefully people will think it's just a regular ND M42, does he have the liner and strap explicitly described as post war Norwegian? That might put people off too. The liner at least is legit and untouched I'm pretty confident. If he will provide more pics of the paint and liner pins etc, that would be awesome. Maybe a liner date too?
