    Dear All,

    I would like to ask your opinion about this painting. Is it postwar? Is it fake? The helmet came from Prague, Czech Republic.
    ((((There is not any painting smell.))))

    Thank you for your answer and help in advance!

    Original Quist helmet with a low lot number ( around 1938/39 ) but repainted post war IMO and NOT a DAK helmet if that is what it is purports to be. Possibly one of the "Egyptian Issue" helmets from the 1950's.

    I saw many like this in Germany, in the paper, I think it's Norvegian.

    Sorry, what is IMO?
    Another thing, can you tell me a little bit more about this Egyptian project? (who repainted the helmets? Czechslovakia?)

    IMO is "in my opinion" ..... I forget sometimes we are a multinational forum.

    The Egyptian link is a 'thought' that there was a sand coloured batch of helmets made for the Egyptian army in the 1950's but the deal did not go ahead and these are they. ( its the story I heard anyway )

    Quist continued production after the war - I guess there were many unused shells and liners ( or even used ones ) to repaint for reissue post-war.

    These turned up within the last 10 years or so in Czechoslovakia. They were all original WWII German shell, M35's, M40's and M42's. They were painted this ordinance tan and rebuilt with original WWII liner assemblies. It was thought that they were refurbished to be sold to Egypt in the 1950's, but the deal was not consummated. Recently, there have been some debates on other forums about whether they were actually wartime refurbished to be issued to the SS in the Med and southern Russia, but no definitive consensus was reached regarding this issue. At the right price I think it is a nice one to have in the collection. I was lucky and picked up an M35 in unissued condition at a show a couple of years back for $125, but it seems they go for $250 - $350 on average. Hopefully we will find some contract documents that confirm the SS story, but I doubt that we will. Jim G.
