RD4436.)ALLGEMEINE-SS M17 DOUBLE DECAL TRANSITIONAL HELMET: you won't be disappointed with this fabulous piece of restoration workmanship. The M17 shell is likely original period as it is marked beneath the skirt with the maker and shell size 'Q66' (maker is 'Quist'). Shell is re-finished with a smooth black application....really a professional restoration job. Nice. Both decals are high quality and completely intact, not junky. Has transitional type European liner, light brown shade fine quality pigskin leather, mildly darkened from use and ink stamped with size '57'. Nine leather fingers and German zinc alloy helmet liner band. Fine quality brown leather chin strap, excellent. GREAT looking helmet. EXC++++
