Hello Sleepwalker,
I hope you're not angry with me, but I will now abuse your thread and I hope I don't litter it! ...
I also don't manage to take nearly as good photos of the object as you always do! ...
I already have a few "Berliner" lids lying around in my chests but I would like to add a somewhat unusual example I received today.
In addition to the helmet, the package also included a "Y-Riemen" ("Y-strap") / Koppeltragegestell, which is marked with the stamps of the Berlin police.
Unfortunately, I can't decipher them clearly, but maybe you can interpret these stamps?
In addition, there was also a map case in the package, which is clearly marked with the stamps of the Berlin police, (P.P.Bln. in the rectangle).
The helmet itself was stored in a fabric bag which, according to the seller, was used to transport / store the helmet itself.
I've never seen anything like this, so I can't verify it.
Maybe you know more about this bag?
The helmet itself (manufactured by Linnemann & Schnetzer, (Size of the shell: 64, Size of the liner: 53-57) shows very strong signs of wear and it looks as if the helmet was overpaintetd during its "period of service".
There is an ink stamp in the liner which I can't interpret: 42/25
do you know you the meaning of this stamp ?
Could this be a stamp of the police precinct ?
Furthermore, another stamp only partially applied to the liner, probably the stamp for P.P. Berlin ?
Thx. in advance,
R.

Hello,
well, it's no surprise that your own post is always better. Unfortunately, helmet performances are not pinned either.
As far as the origin Berlin is concerned, I'm not sure.
What is the color of the metal strips in the interior?
Regards

Hello,
Helmet M1953 - Lower Saxony State Police or Police of Berlin
these helmets can be found every now and then. They differed somewhat from the verifiable Berlin helmets.
I think the stamps in the leather are manufacturer's marks.
It shouldn't be a Berlin ownership stamp because of the shape.
Regards

Thanks very much !
In any case, I got all the items together, which of course are no proof of their belonging together, I know...
