Another try; Q64 M40 SD SS helmet
Good day people,
I have another example for you helmet 'veterans',
and I am very curious about your honest opinions, please.
I have this information so far:
Quist, model 40, size 64.
Liner size 58
chinstrap from '41, from Otto Gehrckens Pinneberg (does this one belong, at all?)
Q64 stamp
R531 stamp, I believe this is the production number?
In addition, some pictures, for your consideration.
Sadly, I cannot provide better quality.

I also saw this one advertised. I'm quite hopeful on this, but definitely wait for some more opinions...

Don't make any assumptions on what I say, but to me it could be a good one, looks like a Q decal, and after looking at the ghv database there were SD SS helmets in the R prefix lotnumber range, but better wait for the experienced folks . I'm just basing on what I've learnt so far, never had a proper SS helmet in my hands yet so.. yeah. Just one with remains of a decal.

I like what I see , but if sold much under market price I would be careful.

Hi, well the "points/corners" to the runes are non-uniformed so that is a good sign ( for a Quist ). I cannot tell if the runes finish just below the break to the shield so I will only go as far as to say that it has a good chance of being correct from what I can see. Leon.

real steel,
I asked for a better picture of the non decal side.
I tried measuring the runes, and in my opinion the left one is thicker.
But, the photo could be taken at an angle.
What I did: I zoomed and made a line, on the bottom of the rune, it's length is the thickness.
Then I simply moved this exact line to the left rune, and it seems too short.
Anyway, take this with a grain of salt, or better yet, ignore this experiment.
I am bad at ms-paint or anything like that.
I asked about the liner as well.
If the helmet is bad, well, another example for everyone to use,
for verification in the future.
