Question. and not trying to start any trouble just want to educate myself. I have a pristine 1915 Baden Haube with a tan liner. Why were some black? Was there a standard or was it a manufacturer thing?
 
Wayne the m15 are usually undye brown leather but as leather shortage becomes a thing during the war, manufacturer just have to make do with whatever liner that they have in stock.
Also not forgetting that these m15 maybe sent to depot for repair so whatever liner is available will be used.
Hope I am right with my understanding
 
This is a very interesting thread, as I have seen all kinds of liners in the half dozen or so pickelhauben I've restored. Restored may not be the right term, as I normally just knock off rust, remove paint and/or paint splatter, put protective wax/polish on them, and call it a day.
 
Wayne,
the M15s manufactured new after the AKO of September 15 were equipped with Liner in natural sheepskin. (beige or fawn). On the other hand effectively the M95 recycled in M15 (by removal of brass to replace it by iron-grey) kept their Liner in black patent leather. As during the transition in September 15, the manufacturers first liquidated their stock of black Liner still available in their workshop, before sewing the new ones in brown leather.

Wayne,
---The new M15s (retractable tip, iron-grey fittings) were equipped with fawn or beige Liner, in natural sheepskin, for reasons of simplification. (Picture 1)
---But the M95 Liner in black varnished sheepskin, which were recycled M15 by exchanging brass or nickel silver with gray iron, kept their black Liner. (Picture2)
---The first M15s, of October were still manufactured with the black Liners in stock at the manufacturers. (Picture2).

Hello James,
One more small note:
Your helmet is very beautiful.
Two or three regiments have no stamped marks, or printed in ink, but painted white in the hull. This is the case of the 111JR.
