GERMAN HELMET 1940 PATTERN MADE BY QUIST LARGE SIZE 68. AN ORIGINAL WW2 HELMET WITH A FABULOUS RESTORATION. PLEASE STUDY PICTURES AND READ DESCRIPTIONS. This is a really lovely M40 helmet made by F. A Quist of Esslingen from 1940 to the war's end. Many collectors think that the Quist made helmets represent the best design and build quality of all the factories producing helmets during the war and this one is a prime example of their work. A lovely steel shell with no manufacturers flaws, drape marks, pitted metal surface etc and with only one very tiny ding to the dome which can be clearly seen in the photos and which doesn't detract at all. This one was refurbished several years ago and is fitted with a superb copy M31 leather liner. I've searched the net to find who made it but its far superior to any of the typical 30 to 50 pound ones currently available from France or the Czech republic.

The chinstrap is also a very good quality copy and bears the makers name and a date of 1940 to match the helmet. There is also a Heeres abgenommen rubber stamp inside the dome and the style of stamp used is absolutely correct for Quist helmets of this period.

Externally there is a top quality Bigfoot style reproduction birdie attached with a silver foil backing in good condition. Collectors will know that Quist helmets virtually always carried these Bigfoot badges rather than those of any other transfer printers.

Stampings are Q68 and 7309. Paint finish is a light eggshell finish dark green and its really well done. Will not scratch or mark, has been on for years.

A terrible shame to part with this one. If you want a very large size Quist SD Heer for your collection or for reenacting this ones for you. I doubt you would ever find better. NOTE: Display head and stand NOT included.
