I appreciate the reply, I was not questioning "Bernhard's" judgement. Instead, I was expanding on what he had said in the hope of learning more about these.
The reality is that I can not find out much at all about Reichswehr helmets anywhere. There just does not seem to be any serious study or photos of them that has ever been made. Only found two or three images of the Reichswehr provincial shields. All of the shields varied a bit from each other.
Can not even find any fake Reichswher provicial shields for sale. There just does not seem to be any interest in such helmets from this period.
I am not worried about sending the helmet back because it does not owe me much money and is not really worth the hassel.
The guy I brought this off had over 1500 different helmets from all around the world and had been collecting them for many years but he has given up now. He had no idea that it was even Reichswehr and was given it with several other German helmets for some stamps from a stamp album in the pre-internet days,
