Did all these formations that were issued spiked helmets wear the Mecklenburg wappen?

Well, I came across this list which seemed pretty intense. From the little I knew before, Mecklenburg helmets are considered to be more rare as they sent fewer units to the war, however, the list provided here shows that there were more units and so I would assume that there might be depot stamps and such on various helmets out there.

Helmut Weitze says that there was only one field artillery unit sent but the list here has at least 7. Maybe he means from the city Schwerin specifically? I am posting this to get further info as well from the community.

Thanks for commenting.

I assume Helmut means from prewar but thats pure speculation.
