You would be forgiven for thinking that this helmet was a German First World War Stalhhelm. Its design was indeed copied from the M1917 however it is made from lighter metal and features a similar leather liner to WW2 German combat helmets. The black paint and pepper pot airvents are a giveaway to it being a wartime police helmet.

It fooled me.

Appears to be a police/fireman's helmet. Need to see the liner to tell. Are there any stampings ?

The German helmets always amaze me with their super protective design, especially covering the ears & neck so totally and made of metal, bet they had fewer head injuries than ours
