just houwe i like m42,whitout decals

Thanks I think it looks good and I have decided to buy it on lay-away.

Can you read the stamps in the helmet like maker and lot number , I'd like to know them.
Is the chinstrap marked and do you have close-ups ?

The exterior is oiled so that kills the price a little , what are you paying ? I have seen a lot nice ND's around with solid liner and untouched.

It says 3224 and 66. Could have a dome stamp as well.

I really like this one alot. Nice and clean overall.
Great chinstrap too !

Hi Stinschen, I'm with Steve, I really like the paint on this one, and the chinstrap definitely has character. It's gonna be hard waiting for this one to come in the mail, but it will be well worth the wait.

By the shape of the air vents I think it is a Quist. They were the last helmet manufacturers to go to the mdl. 42 style in late 44.
If you look real hard you might see a Q in front of the 66 mark.
Hope this helps.

Hi, Steve !

Don't 'Quist' helmet vents have a larger profile ? !
Could it be a EF made lid, possibly ?
Hard for me to tell from the angle.......
