Is this a West German Police or BGS Helmet?

Great links - very interesting. Thanks for sharing. Best, Mark

I also think the "M-1943" stamp is bogus as it makes no sense unless it means something local and is not a reference to the year 1943?

Hi mates, a question, received two helmets today (manufacturer: L&S).
Both obviously BGS also with the typical rough BGS color.
One of the helmets, however, has a modified three-point nylon webbing strap with a chin cup, similar (but not the same) to the French one.

These helmets are said to have been used by the "Erste Hundertschaft" of the Bereitschaftspolizei, Schleswig Holstein.
I know of three such helmets, I was able to procure one of them.

Are you familiar with these helmets?
At first glance, these two M53 do not differ at all in terms of the color of the paintwork and the texture of the paintwork.
Except that one of the two helmets has vent holes and these straps, which I have never seen before on an M53.

Here are some quick shots

I might show this helmet in separate pictures later.

Thanks and regards,
R
