DESCRIPTION
This helmet is fresh out of a WW2 vet estate auction sale named Chas S. Dils Service #35548996 as it was still at the bottom of his US Army 1943 issued duffle bag. The helmet represents that one year back in 1940 when Quist was given a minor contract to produce KM helmets. The decal is a Quist version which is very similar to the ET version.

GERMAN HELMET FACTORY PRODUCTION CODES
(Every original German helmet produced from 1935 to 45 had two factory stampings punched into the side and rear or both in the rear. The alpha numeric number refers to the factory location and the inside metric circumference in centimeters. The rear lot number refers to the production run and was used as a quality control measure. The font styles used at each factory were slightly different but highly consistent throughout the war and so fakes or reproductions will either not have these numbers at all or they will use the wrong font style or letter spacing and so are easily identified as post war made.)
