15THPACAV Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 This is my only WWII German helmet, though I hope to pick up a Heer M35 or M40 in the near future. The helmet shown is a small, size 54 Quist M40. I added the 1944 dated chinstrap, otherwise, it's all original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spasm Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Looks like a 62 rather than a 54 to me, or am I losing it again? Does it have a lot number stamp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul R Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 A very crisp decal! I love seeing these beauties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spasm Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 (edited) Looks like the decal was folded during application, compare the right wing tips on these (from the eagle's point of view). The first is the one on 15TH's helmet above: Edited April 26, 2014 by Spasm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Here is the eagle on mine... Sharp eye!!! I can see what you are talking about with the defect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
