Looks similar to an NSKK crash helmet.. I can't speak for the authenticy of the stamps, which I believe were added later..
Just my thoughts

thankyou for your info, gives me somewhere to look as I had no idea of what it was.

This crash helmet may have been used post war as a personal helmet or other maybe another official use...

Thanks mate, have spent more time searching , came across this site. Helmet, Aviator's Crash Helmet: Italian | Imperial War Museums . They say it is a Italian Aviator's Crash Helmet. It gives not much info if legitimate Italy being Axis would these have been German Manufacture and issued to Italians. Always more questions when a partial answer is found.

I would agree that the helmets were exported to other countries and used by their forces. Since the IWM does not really go into the provenance and explanation as to why it believes this is an Italian Aviator helmet, I also agree that more research needs to be conducted with more solid information.
