Nskk sturzhelm marks

[inimicus]

I have a crash, oops I mean SAFETY helmet (!) for the nskk. the bordered, black ink stamping on the top pad says in thick letters 'M.Sp.Sch.L' is this for a training unit?

also, the front plate isn't brass like the 'chicken hawk' earlies nor alu like the laters. looks like black painted zinc (?). but the pins look like alu. for obvious reasons I haven't removed eagle to look for marks...

anyway insights appreciated. can make pix if needed. thanks david

Pictures will always help. The abbreviation stands for 'Motor Sportschule L'--the L stands for the school location. I don't have a list of schools handy, but perhaps someone will know which school this might be from.
