Hi all: here is a nice, ORIGINAL  Quist (maker) size 64 German M40 combat helmet. Post war paint has been stripped off exposing  the remnants of the original dark paint. Surface patina to other areas. Oil has been added to prevent further patina, which gives parts of the helmet a copper tone. The liner is later-war issue, given it's rather 'patch-work' construction. Nicely marked (see pics). SOLDIER'S NAME hand-painted in the rear of the skirt 'Ott' (one can also see the 'Q' for Quist and some of the size and production numbers).Inquiries welcomed. High bidder to pay shipping and handling. $5 handling on all parcels.  Payment by PayPal.
