That's some sweet stuff you got there! Is there a decal on that lid? What's the batch number and maker of that lid?

Must be Q64, as size 60 is the smallest size

The batch number is for a 1943 production (start of the decal drop). This is a ND Heer helmet, size 64.

Here are some more Quist helmet...
One M35 Heer (SD - Ex DD), one M35 Luftwaffe (SD - Ex DD), and one M40 Heer(SD). These were lids from my collection; only kept the M35 Heer.
Quist was, IMO, the Cadillac of helmets of that time.
Cheers,
Gerry
