Hitler Youth Helmet?

[lowlife]

im new to forums, but was wondering if any 1 can tell me what they think of this helmet.it's supposed to be a hj helmet m40, but does not have the liner rivets and has a weird sort of lining for the liner.

[lowlife]

also, there is a shell marking of 6 then a gap and another 6 stamped, as well as a circle with the letters LS inside the circle ., can any one tell me if they have ever seen this or heard of such a stamp ?

Liner is postwar, the shell too; LS inside a circle is the postwar stamp, that's all I know.

EDIT: Helmet still has the BGS blue/green color on the inside.

Lowlife (thats sort of a self depracating name isnt it?) I moved your posts so as to be in a new thread and not hijack an existing thread on another helmet. The helmet you post is a postwar dressed up as a fake HJ. Also, when posting closeups make sure they are in focus.
Thanks and welcome to the forum!

looks to be a postwar german m53 bundesgrenzschutz with 153 liner ( border guards helmet) responsible for the security of the west german borders with east germany so definately not hj ,regards james

Agreed, a dressed up M53. Hitler youth did not have helmets with decals, apart from some fire volunteer units.

Welcome!

Yep, don't be fooled by these dressed up HJ helmets.
