It a Luftwaffe fire brigade helmet missing the neck guard.
You can compare to my example that is missing the neck guard and the comb on top.

P.S. I have moved your thread to the Steel Helmet section.
Searching for anything relating to, Anton Boos, 934 Stamm. Kp. Pz. Erz. Abt. 7, 3 Kompanie, Panzer-Regiment 2, 16th Panzer-Division (My father)
M34's with Luft decals with or without the white stripe are Luftwaffe Crash Crew helmets, not feuerwehr helmets. Your helmet looks fine except for the decals. I am fairly sure the bird is a repro. Can't tell about the tri color. Please post straight on hi def pictures of the decals. The rest seems okay, including the comb, the liner, the strap, the paint, and probably the stripe. I just upgraded my droop tail Crash Crew helmet and will post it next Saturday. Jim G.
next time I am at my brothers I will take more close ups With my S7 phone best I can. We knew the fire skirt was missing and we want to find one to go with it. If most is correct could the decals be a replacement or just plain put on later. I looked and didn't see any sign of a previous decal but I admit I am new at decals.
this is great information. I will try to take some closer pics of the eagle. I do hope it is original to the helmet. I know there are doubts so far.
Both decals are reproductions sorry to say.
Yea I don't like the look of the decals either, the colors of the tricolor don't look like I'd expect them to.
Aside from that the helmet looks fine, though.
Not sure about the white strip either actually.
