The helmet looks to be manufactured by Parish and the set as a model hole looks to good. It’s always hard to say if it’s a original or put together set but it a nice example of a Vietnam era helmet.

Hi, Marty, thx. for Your response !
Here are some stamps that I found in the liner of the helmet, which I first showed here in the thread.
M17, probably the mold number, marked in the dome of the liner.
Unfortunately, I can no longer read the other stamp in the liner, which has been "sweated off" due to use of the helmet and can only be interpreted vaguely.
The helmet is from 1967 and the camouflage cover is from 1965.
In any case, for me it is a very nice set that belongs together, also in terms of the overall condition because of the signs of use and also in terms of the production period of the components.
Of course, today no one can claim with certainty that a shell and a liner have always been together in this configuration as one holds this helmet in one's hands today, decades after the end of the Vietnam War.
Best regards,
R.
