Hello Peter, its not from WW1, this is sad for me. But ok.
The liner was fixed with a string/cord. It is threaded through many eyelets.
Was this model used by the military or its a civilian Helmet?
Greetings

Hello,

Jerry,
i din´t found any Markers Stamp in that helmet.
I collect german WW1 and WW2 helmets since Years but this Model is unknown for me.

Sorry Tony this wasn´t right.
The german Police wear a) the same Helmet as the Feuerlöschpolizei or b) the m35 - The have only the Polizei Tschako
the German Falkhelfer Soliders wear the M35, M42 or diferen types of the Luftschutz Helm.
I collect German ww2 stuf since years.
Greetings Stefan
