Just picked up this East German NVA Plastic Parade Helmet from 1960s (?).

Any feedback is appreciated.

Looks good and yes it' be from the late 50s through the 60s until the 70s when the later liner system was introduced, the only thing that looks a little odd are the foam pads between the liner and shell, on the lid i used to own and on others i have seen the foam has been bright orange!...

Thanks.

I seen orange and red ones, but those look and feel the same as those on fire helmets.
