Always nice to see these helmets. It must be one for the SA.
NSKK helmets practically always do have a white tag in the inside, saying
Sturzhelm nach Vorschrift des NSKK. Carl Busse from Mainz was a
mayor contractor for the RZM and was licenced with L6/3. The "L" stands
for Leder (leather). Their RZM-permission was revoked September 15, 1937.
Most helmets you will find for the NSKK do have the number L6/1, which stands
for the concern of Hans Römer from Neu-Ulm.
Most NSKK helmets do have in the inside also a unit-stamp. Simply while
most helmets for a unit were property of the unit and when not needed it
was stocked in their building.

I own an early style (rolling swas) property marked to a motorbrigade Kurpfalz-Saar. It has no tag or any evidence of having had one, is that a concern?

Nice crash helmet. I like the distinctive shape of these.

Nigel: not a problem. The timeframe is correct.
The use of the RZM tag was since 1936 and as told in the 1936 manufacturing-regulations.
In April 1935 the Motor-Bigade Kurpfalz was renamed as Kurpfalz-Saar,
which became a Motorgruppe as January 30, 1938. With the date February 1, 1941 it was
renamed as Westmark.
Could you photograph the stamp, please?

Is there by any chance a logo for the manufacturer, possibly beneath the
leathered inner? Just curious!
-
The interior is completely absent of markings with the exception of 2 random pencil marks. There is an orange rubber pad at the front--very dry/flakey.

Can you show an exterior shot of your helmet Nigel?
