I would be cautious about the more well known firms ( Heinkel, Messerschmitt etc... ) but some of the ones that turn up have the most obscure companies on them......? I have an ARADO logo'd helmet that divides opinion too - but a close examination does not indicate the stencil was added in recent times.......
I think because period photos are not forthcoming, people err of the side of 'not original'

The whole thing looks wartime to me a lot of those companies as stated had their own fire fighting services and I'd say the bigger the company the more they had. Looks fine to me IMO. timothy

Looks like a nice original helmet but would be sceptical of the stencil as it exactly matches the ones available on ebay.

Original helmet "sexed up" with a stencil, i'd give it a miss!....

I agree with Gunny and Radidas on this one it might be an original helmet but there are so many of these stencils and examples of these stenciled helmets floating around I would want some pretty solid providence and or a very thorough hands on examination before I purchased it.

These industrial and commercial helmets I'd avoid without 100% proof positive provenance. Anything like this from auction sites is a no for me.
