Heer (Army) M35 Double Decal (DD) Quist (Q)

 An M35 Double Decal (DD) Quist (Q)  early World War II German combat helmet produced by the F.W. Quist, G.m.b.H. factory in Esslingen. These helmets, introduced in 1935, are characterized by their rolled edges, separate ventilation grommets, and, in their early, pre-war to early-war form, two insignia decals (usually Heer/Army or Luftwaffe). 

Key Features and Characteristics:

Manufacturer Mark: The shell is stamped with a Q64 (Quist) 

Decals: "Double Decal" means the helmet features both the national tri-color shield (red, white, black) on the right side and the branch of service emblem (Heer eagle, Luftwaffe eagle, or Polizei) on the left.

Paint: Often found in the original, smooth "apple green" or early field-grey paint, though many were re-issued later in the war with rougher, textured paint.

Liner: Early M35 helmets typically featured reinforced aluminum liner bands and leather liners.

Heer (Army) DD: Feature the silver-grey Heer eagle and the national tri-color.

Background:
