These are great looking helmets I used to have, (sadly didn't make the cut when I downsized my collection), it also had the jump marks in it. They are unlikely to have been used on active service as I'm pretty sure the West Germans were not involved in any post war conflict, at least in a combat role. But I think that their paratroopers were a volunteer unit and would have been intensively trained.
James, yours looks like it has the marks from 2 wearers.
It's worth having one just to say you have a German para helmet, because for most of us it is the closest we will ever get.
Steve.
