The shell is certainly original,I had one with the same lot number and I still own DN522.
The paint might be original, too.
It's hard to tell from these photos, could also be post war.
Daylight photos would be nice but it may be worth the shot as it is for 55.
Shells in very nice shape (without paint)usually go for 100€, though this one looks a little rusty in places.
Here's my Quists
Q64 M40 ND DN522 attic find (ex-whitewash?)

This looks like a small size shell, a 62, if my eyes are correct. The smaller size could account for the squat (small and squashed) appearance.

Some photos taken outside in natural sunlight (not too bright) would be helpful especially of the stamps in the rear. Looks like an original Quist to me and might even have a rough overpaint on the outside.
Edit: sorry, just saw the title of the post - you’ve already said it a Q!

A legit late Q shell made in 1943

Please correct me if im wrong and i probably are, but the helmets edges are curved inside and a 1943 helmets edges would be "sharp" rounded towards the outside of the helmet and not the inside of the helmet, right? Thank you for replying!

The Quist company (Q) made mostly rolled edge helmets until the end of the war. The only company to do so. They made very few flared rim helmets.
Cheers,

Hi Axel,
To answer your question, from 1942 in an effort to remove s step in the manufacturing process and speed up delivery time, the rolled edge was removed resulting in the classic M42 shaped helmet. Prior to that the M35 and M40 had the rolled edge. There were other differences as well such as the vents. You can see an example of these differences on Schwerpunkt’s site here: Combat models and makers – German Helmet Vault
