The pictures are low resolution so it is difficult to authenticate the decals. However, i would not expect a national decal on an M40 Quist helmet with this Lot number.
They are seen very rarely on an M40, and with a lower lot number.

Yes, sorry about the low resolution of the pictures. My immediate gut feeling is that this helmet has been resprayed, if you look you can see a rough finish which looks like a bad paint job rather than rust coming through. Then they’ve simply applied a reproduction eagle of the Luftwaffe decal & possibly painted in the National colours decal on the opposite side.

Yes, i think you may be right on the paint - it does not have the normal fine sandpaper look to it - but looks more like a paint job over a helmet that had already suffered some degradation or rust. Best to avoid this one.

It is all about getting good photos to make a discussion meaningful.
You ask about decals but do not post close ups.
Just going by these photos it does not look like a helmet worth persueing.

Apologies for the pictures once again. These are just what the seller has provided. I will ask for close-ups of the decals.
Thanks, Alexander.
