The SS runes do not look good to me. There appears to be no metallic element to the white and the runes are too sharp.
Further pictures would help clarify this either way.
Possibly this started life as a DD Heer or something similar.

According to batch number, this should be DD helmet.

M35 helmet, so yes DD. These extra pictures, the decal looks very different - much more convincing.
You can see the sparkle too. Comparing it to other Quist decals, i can't see any difference.
Interested in other peoples views.
Also noticed the rounded chin strap bales which i thought would be unusual on a M35 helmet.
I'm assuming on a zinc plated steel liner band.
Anyone else got any thoughts on this?

Do you see ANY issues with the dome stamp ?

1939 stamped - would this not be normal for a M35?
It also has IV - wasn't this for NS helmets?
Here are 2 examples of 1939 dome stamps in M35 Quist SS helmets. Besides the dome stamp, I don't like the decals or anything about this helmet inside or out. But just my opinion
