    Hey all, recently bought this M56.
    A beautiful early variant!

    What i noticed was that there was a small padding piece loose in the dome so i opened up the liner to find multiple markings.
    Can anyone recognise them?
    Adding to that, does anyone know of any ranks/battalions that start WITH VROW?(unsure about the W) as it is written under the name.

    Thanks!

    Edit, found more writing on the outside of the liner!
    W.Weber again and what looks like V(P/R) - OWM
    this helmet just keeps on giving.

    UPDATE: Found out what the name and rank means.
    Mr. Weber here was a OberWachtMeister of the VolksPolizei!

    The brown cruciform pad is from a Belgian MkII helmet.

    Yes René, definitely a must have!
    Got it very cheap too, was a steal which I couldn't pass!

    The name inside came as a surprise to me, didn't even know it was there until just before making this post

    Yes the part it loose, but left over from what?

    probably accidentally left in it from another helmet in the collection? like finding a bonus in a jacket pocket.
