the shako is marked on the inside with "friedrich becker and co.kg, berlin, original vupa"
the cockade is marked b.w assman and sonn
the army helmet is 732 on the rear rim, and q62 on the left side by the chin strap,
the liner band is marked schubertwerke kg, drp 1939, braunschweig

The Shako could be a post war piece with a nazi Eagle atached ,is there a date on the back of the cockade or any markings under the leather liner ? .The helmet pictures are a bit too small and blurry but it looks ok . Rob
