Postwar west german police helmet, from the 60's as far as I remember
It has no rivets, and the vent holes are bigger
Can anyone id the coat of arms?

Indeed it may not be difficult to convert it for WWII reenactment, but it would be needed a repro liner of the correct size
Removing the postwar liner, drilling the 3 holes for the rivets and installing the new liner 8)
Honestly, may be much better to buy a reproduction and leave it as it is (cheaper choice), but if the owner feels skillful and likes DIY...it could be worth a try
