I would like better photos as I really can't tell much from these. If it is a Q64, it would be a rare example. The marks below the Q64 would most likely be the Lot number.
Either way, the helmet has been messed with as it should have no decals. Liner band should be steel and a single band.
Again, clear photos are a must. Have the spit pins been bent or are they flat?
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated

Hi, try to ask our mate ogpsycho

The stamp 6.P.O. in the rectangle reminds me on stampings, marked in the liners of German Police helmets of the 50´s, and, 60´s.
But, as far as I know, the German police after ´45 don´t used wartime -helmets, they received helmets, manufatured from the 50´s on in Germany by several makers.
The German BGS, (Bundesgrenzschutz), on the other hand, used remaining helmets of the Wehrmacht in the early days.
BTW, very nice M42 !

Hello,
the PO stamp as a police approval existed before 1945.
Here we have no police acceptance, which "Po." or "Po" is written in letters but an authority code.
S.P.O. could mean Schutzpolizei, district Postdam, Wache Oranienburg.
Regards

Hi,
Thanks sleepwalking for the info.
Do you know if this would have had decals? if it is indeed a post war Police helmet.
Regards,

Hello,
so after 1945 this stamp was no longer used.
The badges may have been scratched off or someone wanted to look under the paint to see if there were any badges left.
Have the helmet pins been opened?

Hi,
I managed to carefully pull the second band out slightly and the pins are folded flat against the band underneath.
Although the band and the pins are tight and secure, they are not flush with the outer surface of the shell.
Where the decals have been removed its pretty much just bare metal, although saying that I don't think they were decals but painted insignia.
One from the discoloration looks like the National flag colours, the other side has remnants of black paint.
