Re: Identifying German (?) Helmet
I think this is a post war German helmet, possibly of the type issued to Border guards.
I have just found it in my reference book its a German model 1953 Bundesgrenzschutz helmet, used by West German Border Guards in the 1950's and 60's. You will get matches if you type 'Bundesgrenzschutz helmet' into Google image search.
Welcome to the forum.

Re: Identifying German (?) Helmet
The pics are dark but the stamp looks like one I've seen on a post war issue. If I remember the rivet holes for the liner aren't like the originals, or the rear one is gone.. I cant remember, but i know its a post war made one.the one i had was riddled with bullet holes and i got it for a conversation piece at the time. its long since gone.Can you post better images?
-Edit-
I forgot to say," welcome!".

Re: Identifying German (?) Helmet
Do you get fake border guards helmets, or do you think its not a border guards helmet?

Re: Identifying German (?) Helmet
not fake but post-war - center mount liner - no side rivets - only vent holes

Re: Identifying German (?) Helmet
That's it, It's been a few years since I had one. So it's not a repro, then. What's the era?
Also, I remember mine had swivel bales.
