Rare experimental helmet used by West German paratroopers from the period between 1957 and 1959.

Only 500 of these experimental Römer helmets were made.

The model shown here has a helmet shell from the manufacturer Linnemann & Schnetzer (LS) The shape is very similar to that of the German paratrooper steel helmet M1938 from WW2. However, the edge of the helmet is not bordered but has a welded stainless steel rim. The helmet has a rough paint in brown olive RAL 6014.

The interior is from the Hans Römer Neu-Ulm company (HRN) and largely corresponds to that which this company installed in its motorcycle helmets from that time.At the top, the fabric can be adjusted to the head using a cord. The head size cannot be adjusted for safety reasons.

The inner lining is firmly connected to the shell with 6 hollow rivets.

The chinstrap are also from the Römer company and are very elaborately manufactured with various adjustment options.  The straps are firmly riveted to the inner ring of the inner lining.
