No original IMO. This lot number should be a no decal. The decal is clearly not a Q SS decal, a fake Pocher?

Tough one to call for me Krad, I like the decal myself but it does seem to lack the layered metallic glint I look for. I am on the fence with this one, lets see what the others have to say.

I know people can sell a helmet for whatever they want to but even if it's real it's not for me at $11,000.00

Andy, good "Q" pattern decal for me. Appears that it was slightly misapplied.

Everyone expects price drops on the estand....he's just playing the game.

You've much more experience than me with these Samir, so I'm happy to be corrected. The bottom of the runes well above the break did give me pause though?

They sure messed up the left break if that one is good.

There is no chronological order to Quist lot numbers.

[Totenhead]

Totally off topic, but at what period in the war did pig skin liners make an appearance ?

Agreed Roy but the DN series was the last as far as I know. I do think now though that it's a good Q decal with a misapplication around the break.

Appears to be a misapplied, unlacquered original Q decal.
