Nice helmet! Is there a white circle around the cross on the front? Also, is the decal similar to medic decals or are those just fantasy? Here is one:

It is an M34 civic helmet that was issued to the DRK (German Red Cross). These pop up from time to time.
The Luftschutz was an organization that sometimes used the same M34 model of helmet. They used a variety of models, such as M34's, M38 'Gladiator''s, beaded combat models, and even captured foreign helmets.
Ah okay thanks
Really nice DRK Corey
Funky little mistake in the vents too, that shows the machine had one stamp that struck twice rather than a pair that struck once together.
Useless info, maybe, but I'm good in a pub quiz thanks to my penchant for such snippets
Not always, sometimes there is a white circle painted with a red cross inside. I've never seen a medic helmet with just a red cross on the factory paint without a white background of some sort, but I'm sure they existed.
As for DRK decals, I've seen them on every type of M34 as well as every variation of "gladiator". Sometimes they will have the blue paint such as mine.

Both of thoses decals are fakes.
The round button DRK decals are all fakes sorry.
