Thats a very, very nice helmet, DDucz.

It looks to be in excellent condition, what markings are on the inner skirt and liner band ?

Thats a great lid. I used to have a DD M-35 Luft-that is, untill some Bastar_o pinched it from the mail. Mine was also named to a Feldwebel and was a Quist 64.

Nice un-messed with helmet DDucz.
Sorry to hear about your loss Carl, I would be hacked off with it too. Time never heals some wounds, especially when perpetrated by some low life.

Thanks John ;-)) and the sad thing is, is that I KNOW it was one of the postal workers who worked at the post office located right next to my residence who stole it from me. His co-workers also suspected hi of doing it but-nobody could without a doubt-prove it. After that theft, I had to get all my incoming Militaria delivered to my Sisters house-which pissed her off because I was spending a lot of money on militaria.
