Hi guys,
I just acquired this Luft helmet over the weekend at a local gunshow.It has an ink stamp on the inside of the dome with a date of 1936(?) and a unit mark on the inside of the liner.The helmet rim is marked Q64.I don't know the intricacies of collecting these things but I couldn't see anything flagrantly phony.Now for the burning question..is it real? Also what would be an approx. value? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks & best regards,
Len

Great helmet, you should be very happy with it.

Nice early helmets in that condition are hard to get today.
