Typical Dutch 30's, WWII, and Post-War helmet. (can't tell you the exact 'name', though)
Insignia on the front is the symbol for the (as the above website also tells) 'Rijkspolitie' (just, police). Probably used after the war, when there were little supplies... Probably originally painted green.
Used up till the 70's, according to the 'Dutch Police Museum'; http://www.politiemuseum.nl/collecti...bjecten&b=1245

Like there, the M28 or 27 or whatever it was has a much more pronounced shape
