DDR East German Border Guard Helmet

[GIZMO8Z]

I studied abroad in Berlin for two weeks a few years back and I picked this up from a street vendor near Check Point Charlie for like 20euro. What do you guys think?

Can anyone help me identify a maker and when it was made? I can't seem to find any markings.







Hopefully the pictures work... bear with me.

Thanks for taking a look!

Have a look here, it is the later version of the M56:

ALEMANIA 66

Worn by the NVA.

Cheers, Ade.

BTW, your liner is installed backwards, the brow piece should be at the front
