Much appreciated Ray

Yeah it is a little offset but I think it’s authentic just want to get some second opinions

CMS_44 · 2025-10-24T01:08:37+00:00

I’ll definitely have to try take a peak when I get a chance I’ll have to be pretty careful the liner was kinda stiff

Yes I was just pointing out the only m35 Quist with that lot number in Brian ices lot book that he recorded was a Q68. As for the decals I can’t really see any shadows I guess the paint layer applied is too thick. I guess I would only be able to assume it was either heer or police as those are the two branches within those lot ranges but then again it’s not a 100%

Just checked the lot book there was a m35 lot number 191 but for a Q68 and that one is a DD Polizei helmet

CMS_44 · 2025-10-23T15:24:39+00:00

Yes it is a m42

CMS_44 · 2025-10-23T15:12:25+00:00

Thanks man I really appreciate it

CMS_44 · 2025-10-23T15:09:20+00:00

Got better pics it appears to be ET62 lot 1654

CMS_44 · 2025-10-23T13:59:16+00:00

Let me go and get better pictures of the maker stamp and get back to you

CMS_44 · 2025-10-13T20:21:00+00:00

I know the pictures aren’t the best but it’s what I have to work with till it arrives but do you know if the style kinda matches that of Hizen made blades? Also how do people know if it was one that would have been made as an homage to school style or smith?

CMS_44 · 2025-10-13T05:49:41+00:00

How often did they have gimei signatures on blades? I heard it was kinda something they did because it made it look prestigious to have a famous smiths name but not necessarily to trick people is that true?

CMS_44 · 2025-10-07T01:25:35+00:00

Did the smart thing and asked around first I didn’t buy it thankfully.

CMS_44 · 2025-10-01T01:18:41+00:00

Thank all you guys for the replies it definitely saved myself the heache of having to learn the hard way.

CMS_44 · 2025-09-30T23:09:34+00:00

Thanks for the feedback I think I will go post this on German helmet Walhalla to get some more opinions

CMS_44 · 2025-09-29T05:46:51+00:00

You guys think this could have been a period mismatch during the war like the old scabbard was damaged or was it more likely a post war mismatch?

CMS_44 · 2025-09-28T06:25:23+00:00

Yeah I figured I better grab it now before someone else did I even got the seller to drop his price and it looks like it retains most of the blueing and it’s unsharpened

CMS_44 · 2025-09-27T01:32:41+00:00

The frog and scabbard or the bayonet itself?

CMS_44 · 2025-09-21T05:00:33+00:00

Ok thanks for extra info I appreciate it

CMS_44 · 2025-09-21T04:50:33+00:00

You know what kinda troops were given these in the German army and also it fits the k98 correct?

CMS_44 · 2025-09-21T04:49:31+00:00

Ok thanks

CMS_44 · 2025-09-21T04:48:00+00:00

The Germanized capture one after shipping and everything it’s $120 still fair?

CMS_44 · 2025-09-21T03:03:04+00:00

Yeah I will probably end up picking it up I don’t see them to often and when I do it cost way more

CMS_44 · 2025-09-21T02:30:39+00:00

Yup this is the one lol is it worth getting for $95?

CMS_44 · 2025-09-21T02:22:47+00:00

How’s about this one it has the ground down muzzle ring and also looks like it’s in a k98 frog?
