Unknown Helmet

[wperez]

Does anyone have an idea on what type of helmet this is?

I found it in my grandfathers house but have no idea anything about it!

If anyone could help me out I would be very appreciated!

Looks like a polo helmet? I don't think it's military?

has German post-WW2 DIN marking - possibly industrial - mining comes to mind.

thanks - interesting.
I guess din marking was made once it was approved for the use in post-war years then.

Hi meyle77, I didn't mean your dating, I meant the dating of 1870 on ebay!
