Please tell me if you like the decals.

Looks like a good 'bigfoot' decal to me, is the shell a Quist? It will be marked by the ear 'Q64' 'Q66' etc. Pics of the markings and interior would be great for future reference.

Damage to the tricolour is strange but I think also good.

thanks for your comment.

At the moment I do not know if it is a Q64...

yes, the scratches look post war.... for any reason nobody knows... playing children maybe... how knows!??

Hi guys,

thanks for your comments. The story about is that the helmet obviosuly really comes from private and looks good to me. It has a quite big battle damage at the back. The soldier survived it but did not take part anymore in war. He became very old and died just short time ago.

Just after some bad experiences - and many heared stories - I wanted to get some more feeback from collectors who are better in this topic than me.

I will post a couple of pics here in about 1 week.

Thanks!

Good decals as stated

Looks as if the soldier sewed his name on the inside of the liner.
