This is the classic LS helmet, but they used many different types of shell. Captured enemy military helmets, 'reject' German combat helmets (or not, there is a debate on this too).



This one is the 'reject' combat helmet style, or possibly they were made for purpose.

Luftschutz or Air Defence helmets as shown above would have been worn by air defence personnel.

it's about this kind of insignia on a french Adrian helmet, supposed to be NSDAP Luftschutz ??

Issued to Nazi Party formations involved in Air raid protection. I grew up near Worms by the way!

I wouldn't be convinced about the originality of that helmet without more info. Interesting though.
