The helmet bears a "qvl" manufacturer code, believed to be from a factory in occupied Czechoslovakia (possibly Brno), active from around 1944. The exact maker remains unidentified, but these helmets are thought to be associated with the Thale facility, using its steel stock and stamping dies, "qvl" examples are found in the low 5000–6000 lot number range (mirroring Thales Lot numbers at the same time)
