Need a little help: post war German helmet

[emileverbunt]

Hi Wolfman,

I checked the internet and Ludwig Baer's book Vom Stahlhelm zum Gefechtshelm (band 2). Olaf was quite right. The shell is a German M1 and was manufactured by Quist. There were actually two factories producing this helmet: F.W. Quist and Linnemann & Schnetzer. The liner is original to this helmet and was made by Maury & Co, Offenbach. This was one of six factories producing liners. I think you have a nice helmet. Rather rare in this condition.

Cheers, Emile

I head this early post war helmet was mfg for a short time? until they made the other variations with different types of liners, and some with no air vents.
