M42 Quist 66 Helmet

[bigdavemac]

Hi everyone. I am new to the forum and this is only my second post. I just picked up an M42 helmet marked Q66 2480 on the rear skirt. I am hearing that Quist did not make a size 66 M42. I can send pics to anyone interested. I would love to hear some opinions on this. Please email me at shashi4g@aol.com for pics. Thanks. Bigdavemac.

Make sure it's an M42, as the size and lot number don't jive for a real quits made M42.

I agree with Paul..

Likely Repro

Thanks to everyone who inquired about the helmet. Nearly everyone I sent the photos to agreed it is most likely a reproduction. Dave

Here are a couple of photos of the Q66 M42, everyone feels it is a repro and I tend to agree. bigdavemac

This is what the markings should be like in a Quist M42
