Another One looker, well done

Another real "Q" helmet. Good score, Joe.

Cheers,

One looker Q. Fine pick-up.

I know we have said this before, the real ones just never need to be discussed.

Thanks for all the remarks.

I just wanted to post it , just be sure.

Thanks Joe Semen

Joe,

If I may make a suggestion...please do not use that black stand you show to display your helmet(s). It will ruin your liner. I use a stand that will go right up and through the opening in the liner and rest on the helmet shell itself, padded so it doesn't scratch the inner dome paint. That reduces the stress on the old and fragile leather to zero.

You are building a very nice and impressive collection. Congratulations.

Cheers,

Hi

I just use the stand for the photos. The helmets sit on the shelve by themselves. I find the m40 helmets heavier than the m42 and m35 for some reason. But thanks for idea , it is good one. Probable try it in the future.

Thanks Joe

Maybe you have only m40 Q's

nice helmet

Hi
Yes my two m40 helmets are "Q" helmets. Does anybody know why this manufacture of helmet seems heavier than the other helmets? Is the type steel they use? I am just guessing here.

Joe

That's a screamer. I hate to use a well worn cliche but if it could only talk....

good

A typical vet pick-up appearance. Cool.

Shu

Very nice helmet indeed. I used to own a very similar helmet from the 6. SS-Division "Nord".
