Q.........km?

I'm considering buying this helmet. The seller says it's a KM, but I thought only the ET company made them. This one is a "Q". What do you think? Thanks in advance for the responses.

This is absolutely a Heer helmet, ET style decal. All manufacturers made KM helmets as far as I know.

Quist supplied helmets to the Kriegsmarine. Decal doesn't look very gold.

The seller says that the helmet was acquired by his father at the Brest U-boat facility in May of 1945 and claims it is definitely a KM.

It may have been used by the Kriegsmarine with this decal, that isn't unheard of. The decal is most definitely an Army decal though.

I agree again... It's not ever close in color to a KM.

I have no doubt he got it from Brest but as the others have said, it IS a Heer helmet. In 1945 who knows whether army soldiers took refuge in the KM facility there - or some allied soldier picked it up elsewhere and for some reason left it in the U boat pens???? ..... the eternal mystery of war....
