ABOUT HOW MUCH IS AN SS SD M40 GOING FOR NOW A DAYS? DECAL RATES AT ABOUT 95%, NAME AND RANK IN BACK OF SKIRT. ONLY FLAW THIS HELMET HAS IS THE STRING IS BROKEN AWAY FROM ONE TONGUE.

I have some concerns with the decal - it's not a real Pocher.

Bob,

I agree wih Cees...the decal looks very suspect based on this image. It resembles a Pocher, but it should not be on what appears to be a Quist helmet. Can you confirm that it is indeed a Q?

I agree, that decal is a very good fake in my opinion.

LOOKS LIKE A Q TO ME. I'VE HAD THIS HELMET FOR 7 YEARS.

The name and SS rank inside the helmet are also highly suspect. A little too much icing on the cake.

I also agree, the decal is not original and I do not like the painting in the skirt.

Not to chime in here as I am out of my field but I have handled many in 24 years. The sigrunen look a little sloppy to me and the script on the neck is just too perfect and spectacular as previously stated. Highly suspect at best. cheers, Ryan

If authentic in this condition, named and researchable I would have to place it in the $3500.00 to $4000.00 range and beyond.
