Re: German Medic Q62 Helmet
I don't like the wear, looks artificial. Liner looks "puffy" like it's been replaced and not original to the shell, maybe dyed. I don't like it in any case. I think I'd pass.

The DN92 is a Quist Factory patent number, a pretty rare one at that. I know for a fact the helmet is authentic. What I am interested in is if the Medic insignia is original and if the liner is correct for this style helmet. The seller does mention that the drawstring is a reproduction, which is obvious, so no mystery there. Let me know what you think guys.

For you information it is not a patent number , every helmet got stamped with such a number. With an estimated couple of hundred helmets which received the same number.
The number tells us if this helmet should have a decal. All registered helmets in the GHW lotnr list have decals. The medic cross and the scars and wear do not look authentic at all and the absence of a decal says it all.
Here's a sample :
M40 DN81 Q 62 SD Heer steel liner
M40 DN81 Q 62 SD Heer steel liner
M40 DN85 Q 66 SD Heer steel liner 1941
M40 DN85 Q 66 SD LW steel liner
M40 DN91 Q 64 SD Heer steel liner
M40 DN91 Q 64 SD Heer steel liner
M40 DN105 Q 62 SD KM steel liner
M40 DN105 Q 62 SD KM steel liner
M40 DN105 Q 64 SD LW steel liner
M40 DN105 Q 64 SD LW steel liner
M40 DN105 Q 62 SD Heer steel liner

Re: German Medic Q62 Helmet
I was only repeating the information from The Online Guide to World War II German Helmets. It says some quist were stamped DN, a patent identification Associated to the helmets model or type. Regards, Corey

Re: German Medic Q62 Helmet
Some lot numbers are alphanumeric like this. I don't know the significance but it's not that uncommon. I have a Quist M40 and Quist M42 with a DN prefix.
