In any case i think more pictures would be good, of the whole helmet, the whole liner, all sides. Also a straight, clear shot of the Decal.

[Pascal BERNHARD]

Thank you for reply,

but it's all what I have currently

more shots

+1 on more photos. You need much better photos on the decal in particular.
The lot number falls in to a range where it could be an SS helmet but could also be a no decal helmet. You cannot take any risks here.

In general, worth asking for better pictures. The shell, Paint and liner loog good so far, now the only question is wheather the decal is also good.

[Pascal BERNHARD]

OK,thank you,
I'll try to obtain a fine and sharp pic of the decal
anyway thanks for your time and answers.

I´m not a decal expert so i would definitly wait for more opinions!

What looks weird to me is the bottom half, the left side has a weird *dent*? And on the right side there is barely if any borderline existent, this could be because of missaplication of the decal, or just wear, but i wanted to note that.

In general i like the texture of the decal, its seems like a Quist Decal to me (I assume the Helmet is a Quist? Cant really make the stamp out, but i think i see some hint of an Q), so i think it stands a chance, but as i said, i´m not experienced enought to give a good opinion.

Danke Adravor,

yes the helmet is a Quist.

open to more opinions.
