Hi Roberto, I know nothing about these, but it looks like a nice original and probably un-issued helmet to me. Leon.

From about 1944 I think, they started painting them dark brown, as apposed to the khaki green ones.

Looks a nice size too.........

Another fine helmet. I have seen quite a few late war dated examples that are in nearly mint condition. I assume that after the end of the war the numbers of Dr's was cut by quite a lot and many stayed in the stores. All in all a very nice example, I almost bought one recently but passed on it in the end, though I remember when these were so cheap that I regretted not buying one back in the day and I have yet to own one.
Regards,
Jerry
Whatever
its just an opinion.

Jerry, you're right, in fact today, in my part, these helmets have become expensive, that's why I bought many years ago when they were a good price.
