"Opex: The M/48 with the stencilled "B" on the front, is indeed for the "fire department part" of the "CF" organisation Danish: Brand = Fire. Very nice helmet. They had other units that specialised in "rescue", "evacuation", etc.
They stopped using decals and helmet markings at some point. I don't recall when exactly, but the liner suggest your helmet is pre 1963. Very nice. "
Many thanks for the confirmation and compliments my friend, and indeed for the era from which it was used.
I totally agree a sticky would be very useful resource for these often overlooked genre of Danish helmets.
Following on from the subject of "smelly" liners I can confirm the Fire helmet, has the "smelliest" liner of all the helmets I currently have in my collection, the Red liners are very pungent and even after all the years I have owned this example( and the time before it came into my collection) it still has not lost that distinct pong!
