Original Item: At first we thought we had a Kriegsmarine Helmet, which are far more rare because the decal appears to be Gold but after careful examination we believe this to be a toned Herr decal. Never the less, this is a fine example of a large size 66 shell. The shell is stamped Q66 indication it was manufactured by F.W. Quist G.m.b.H., Esslingen with a batch number stamped into the rear apron 9070. We believe the paint to be original and the shell is in overall very good condition. The decal is in simply excellent shape but has yellowed over the years.
The original split pins are still present as is the original aluminum liner band. The leather liner was long ago removed, so we are including one our fine reproduction liners for you to install should you wish to complete the helmet
