This is a very early (mid fifties) liner made by Schuberth Werke in Braunschweig (so marked in white ink), Germany. This liner marked with a star was delivered to the Netherlands, in any case.
I Know not whether they were produced for other nations. Might also have been produced for the Bundeswehr for their Zweiteiliger Helm (That's what Germany called the M1 clones that they briefly used).
Could you show us the steel shell coming with it? Specifically the chinstrap buckle.
Very nice and collectable helmet liner over here. Not many around in unmodified state.
Cheers,
Emile

Emile:
Thank you for the reply and information. This is not my liner, and I don't know if he has the shell. He shared the photos on the USGI M1 Helmet Collectors page and had a bunch of us stumped withe the mark. I've given him the information and I'll let you know if there is a shell. Thank you for solving our mystery! Cheers!
It's a pleasure!
Emile:
The owner does not have the steel shell but he appreciated your information and will maintain the liner as-is.
Regards,
Jim
For comparison here is the "Zweiteilliger Stahlhelm" i owned for a short while.
Zweiteilliger Stahlhelm M56 - First Bundeswehr helmez
I have been told they are quiet rare, and a desirable piece for early bundeswehr collectors.
