Hello Hellschickie,
You have a Dutch helmet made by Vereinigte Deutsche Nickelwerke in 1985 as it says in the rim. The liner itself was produced by Schubert Werke in 1981. I believe VDN never did produce liners for The Netherlands, at least not that I am aware of. Liners and steel helmets were often mixed.
If you put this VDN shell next to an other M-1 clone, you'll notice a slight difference in shape.
Nice helmet.
Cheers,
Emile

Heel erg bedankt Emile dit geeft wat meer licht op de zaak betreft deze helm die ik nu heb.
This gives me a good impression of the background of this type of helmet, I kinda worried that it wasn't original because of difference's of the years, but now I know that VDN did not make liners it all makes more sense to me.
Do you know what kind of missions it was involved in the past, I am also curious of its history whats its been true..
Oh and yes I also notice a slight difference in shape with my other M1 clones your right
Cheerzzz

Very nice and diverse collection. I particularly like the Swiss helmet design. It looks to me a combination of medieval and modern style. Of course, the DDR lid looks like Star Wars copied it. You need an Adrian helmet or two as well
