Hello Fabe,
Nice helmet!
I think 05565D is the Feldpostnummber. I can't find his exact number but for 05565 I found this:
05565
(Mobilmachung-1.1.1940) Stab I u. 1.-4. Kompanie
Infanterie-Regiment 251,
(1.8.1943-23.3.1944) 25.11.1943 gestrichen,
(24.3.1944-6.11.1944) 29.9.1944 SS-Gebirgs-Veterinär-Kompanie 500.
Regards, Rik

There are 12 casualties named Braunschweiger on the VDK database, but none fit in with the timeframe of this owners helmet. Nice find.
Rick is correct regarding the feldpostnummer, the D representing the 4th Kompanie.

Hi Fabe,
Nice find.
Did you dig this one yourself?

Hi Andy, Thanks!
No, I live in Europe (Hungary), this one from a friend, who got it from a Russian dealer.
10 of these helmets were found in the same place - I got the 2 best looking one ( I think ). I'll show more pics tomorrow.
Cheers,

Hi Fabe,
Interesting to see the the original paint poking through the brush applied over paint.
I think this one will display very nicely with your lighting setup!
I find relic helmets very interesting especially when they are in a time capsule condition like this.
I only have one named helmet but hope to collect more. The chance to learn a little bit more of the helmets history and former owner is very exciting!
Looking forward to seeing more photos.
Cheers,
Andrew

Yes, I think the bottom original factory paint was apple-green.(?) You can see some of it around the decals on the photos in my next post.

Hi Fabe,
Another interesting find
Regarding the sawdust - it’s a bit hard to tell from the images as some of the rough texture could just be down to the general deterioration of the paint although I do think that I can see some small pieces in the photos that show the lower parts of the helmet. Not much if any on the dome but this could be down to it resting on its top and the camo wearing away!? I would think if it was a camo it would be coloured accordingly.
Love the netting hooks. I saw a helmet recently where they were hooked under the liner band.
I really like this helmet.
Cheers,
Andrew
