Lot number book has DN197 around early 1942.
Others with same L/No are SD SS, SD Heer, SD Luft & DD Police so it could have been anything.
Shame to see what it's become

Thanks for the reply Dan- interestingly enough I found a DD FeldPolizei Q64 DN197 previously sold on ww2germanhelmets.com....a "survivor's lot" perhaps?

If they only knew...not even a good "display" space filler unfortunately.
Where did you get the date Dan? Ice's book? I see helmets with a higher lot # on Frank's database with 40 dated liners but it could be replacement or old stock. FWIIW I have a DN148 dated 1940...
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated

Yes mate - Brians book.
I relied on his knowledge of the date the lot was made......
Cheers, Dan

My apologies for being pedantic, but the last photo does not appear to have front liner pins & the paint texture in the first two photos appears to be totally different.....On my monitor anyway.

Maybe its been bogged or welded? Also looks like a sponge foam liner in there...

Just putting it out there Dan. I couldn't see a pin at 4am this morning while still groggy & I definitely can't see one now.

Just to clarify, It's definitely all the same helmet - the outer surfaces I suspect have recieved many, many layers of paint and a touch of bog unfortunately. I don't have any pics of the liner (it still exists) but from what I have been told was just stuffed in there against foam now the liner pins are long gone. By all accounts a shame.
I still find it interesting though that 2 helmets have survived from the same batch - If my mathematics is correct (is it 500 Helmets per batch, 4000-5000 batches perhaps for Quist?) that's a lot of helmets around for 2 to survive out of a 500 Helmet lot....or am I wrong with these figures?
Regards,
Dan

I dont believe any records survive telling us how many per batch/lot. Were they stamped weekly, fortnightly or ?????
Impossible to know really...
Cheers, another Dan
