I found information about the company CODEBA = "Companie deutscher Baskenmützenhersteller" see: https://www.codeba.net/ueber-uns
"Company of German beret manufacturers" In 1934, Mr. Küpper died and bequeathed the company to his descendants and his long-time authorized signatory, Ms. Bernhardine Zimmermann, who steered the company's fortunes through the turmoil of the Second World War and developed it into Germany's largest manufacturer of military caps. In 1960, the company began to manufacture berets for the German market in conjunction with a group of Belgian beret manufacturers and added the abbreviation "CODEBA" to the company name, which stood for "Companie deutscher beret manufacturers". In 1985 the company celebrated its 100th anniversary.

The insignia was adopted by AO 330, paragraph 6 of June 9, 1954, intended to replace the heraldic lion previously worn. It represents a grenade with eight flames, which was already the insignia of the Batteries Infantry before 1940. Two other designs exist, one by the commander of the 31st Company Mortiers (reserve BVS), the Captain Croughs, proposed in 1953 and another from 1954 by the 4th Cie Mo. However, these two have not been adopted. (Jacques Champagne, Infanterie-Traditions, 1973) - this information is not in the later issue by the way). In the course of 1950, a company of Heavy Mortars is foreseen for each Infantry Brigade. As of December 1, 1951, date of adoption of the American organization, each Inf Bde is equipped with a company with 12 4 "2 mortars each. Active companies: 1st, 4th, 7th, 10th, 11th and 12th Companies, they bear the number of the brigade to which they are attached. The 31st Company is also founded. In war time she is part of the 31st Inf Bde of the 5th Division, reserve unit of the Internal Defense Forces. The following companies existed in the reserve: 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th, 8th, 9th, 13th, 14th, 15th, 32nd and 33rd. In the course of 1960, in the context of the organization type "Landcent", both the active and reserve divisions are restructured. On June 30 of that year, all companies are canceled. a 2nd and a 10th company are still being provided in the reserve for the 10th Infantry Grouping / 2 Division, as well as the 5th and 11th companies for the 12th Infantry Grouping / 4 Division. These are scrapped on 1 March 1961 and replaced by an Anti-Tank company with CATI vehicles.
There is a name written in the beret. ABL made by company JPM Year 1955
This beret can be correct. Read here about the history: http://www.negendelinie.be/historiek.php Translated: From the Second World War to the present day Six Infantry Brigades were established in England and Ireland in March 1945. The Third Battalion of the Fourth Brigade, the Brigade Steenstraet, was renamed the Ninth Line Battalion and continued the traditions of our Regiment (the Regiment had become French-speaking again). After training in Northern Ireland, from April to November 1945, the Regiment was transferred to Germany. The first garrison was Sunninghausen. On May 4, 1946 it received its new banner from the then Minister of Defense, Lt Kol Defraiteur. In that year the Ninth became Flemish again. In 1947 the Ninth Line was transferred to Leopoldsburg and disbanded there with its Brigade on April 30. However, it continued to exist as a reserve unit. From September 15, 1951 to January 31, 1956, the Regiment became an active unit again as a result of the very tense international situation. It was then stationed in Tongeren. In 1956 the Regiment became a reserve unit again, as a guard battalion of the province of Brabant (taken over from the 18th Line). On December 1, 1975, the Ninth Line was re-established as the Anti-Tank Battalion of the Fourth Mechanized Infantry Brigade in Soest. On May 8 of that year it received its banner from the Minister of Defense, Mr Vandenboeynants (reserve non-commissioned officer of the Ninth Line). On January 10, 1986, the Ninth Line was restructured into an independent Anti-Tank Company of the same brigade. The unit consisted of a Staff, three platoons of Milan and a platoon of tank hunters. In 1992 the Ninth Line was transferred to the reserve for the third time as ATk company of the Fourth Mechanized Infantry Brigade.

Year 1990 MITIN is the product used to protect against moths.
http://www.negendelinie.be/ During the restructuring in 1992 and due to the improved East-West relations, the anti-tank company 9th Line is merged with the sister company of the 8th Line. On July 1, 92, the "Compagnie Antitank 8-9 Line" was created. During the summer of 1993, this unit was disbanded and the traditions were taken over by the Company Headquarters - 8/9 Line. By the amalgamation of the First Brigade Staff and the Company Headquarters 8/9 Line takes over the First Brigade Headquarters - 8/9 Line on January 29, 2003, taking over all traditions from the 8th and 9th Line.
This is a more recent Dutch Model 53 Troepenhelm lot 04/87 U's The lot code is 04 The production year is 1987 The manufacturer is U's = Ulbrichts Witwe Ulbrichts Witwe GmbH Kaufing 34 4690 Schwanenstadt Österreich http://www.ulbrichts.com/
I obtained this helmet from J.van den Abbeele who used it while serving as a conscript soldier in the Netherlands army from Nov. '89 to Dec. '90, he served with the Genie. First 4 months of training in Vught, then 10 months at the 13th Pantser Engineer Company in Oirschot. (building and building bridges, clearing and laying minefield support) You had to take the helmet with the entire combat outfit home and keep it until you were 50/55 years old in case you could be called up again as a reserve,... The only thing that had to be handed in was the net suit with matching beret.
The helmet is made in 1987 just like the liner that came with it, so we know for sure this set has always been like this.
This picture shows the typical dutch locking system.
N.v. Beccon, that existed from 1921 until 1993, was located in Doetinchem. One of the directors was Mr b. Becking. The name Beccon stands for Becking and Conijn. It was a metal pressing plant and emaillefabriek, and later also a galvanizing plant. There were petroleum and pans created, and further for example street signs. In a letter of 11 december 1936 to the municipality Bergh is informed that in note 18 street signs are taken according to the information you provide against the cleanliness of contents f. 1.25 per piece NET. On 30 november 1944, towards the end of the second world war, the factory bombed by Allied aircraft. A Department that came with the Germans was in use, was destroyed, and part of the factory was in ashes. Director Becking is killed in this attack, as well as its Managing Director Schultz, a worker and three German soldiers. The day before was still present at the funeral in Becking Azewijn by Zeno Door Frost, which likewise factory Director was. The company was, along with Vredestein, one of the first who are establised on the Hamburger industrieterrien pants. In 2004 has been in the hands of Intermeco. In 2008 are the premises, located a the north side of the track and to the East of the Misset Street, demolished.

This beret is made by the company Z. Beighau I found information about this company at http://beretandboina.blogspot.com/2013/02/beighau-berets.html It is not that long ago that the South of France (and more specifically the area around Oloron Sainte Marie) counted many small beret manufacturers. These days, there are only two left: Blancq-Olibet and Laulhere. Until 1993, there was a third: Beighau.
110 years before, Zechariah Beighau set up business as a wine merchant in Oloron St Marie, and in 1928 his son Xavier started the manufacturing of berets under the family name Beighau. The business expanded rapidly.
In 1945, son Maurice joins his father in the company (he took over the business in 1980). This is still the time that many Frenchmen (and many others) saw the beret as a standard part of their clothing and berets were manufactured in great numbers. In 1977 Beighau produces 450.000 berets (65% export!) and employs 40 people. The general decline in wearing hats and strong competition from Asian countries made Maurice, and his son Pierre decide to end the business in 1996. Most machinery went to Laulhere (including the ownership of the labels).
German beret Fallschirmjägertruppe (Bundeswehr) before 1980
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallschirmj%C3%A4gertruppe_(Bundeswehr) The Fallschirmjägertruppe is a branch of troops in the Army of the Bundeswehr. The German paratroop troop is one of the combat troops of the army and forms with the hunter and the mountain hunters troop the infantry. The paratroop troop forms the infantry core of German airborne troops. Specially equipped and trained, the paratroop troop serves as an infantry fight in difficult terrain by approaching the parachute jump.
In 1971 the beret was introduced for armored forces, hunters and paratroopers. The badges did not have a national emblem. In 1980 the beret was introduced for all branches of the army and the badges had the flag as a national emblem. From this point on, the first three branches of the army also wore their badges with flags. At least officially.

This liner was used by "Regimental Police" personnel at Belgian Air Force bases. Now I understand why the I can see grey at places where the white paint came of.
This liner is made by SW = Schuberth Werke 69 = 1969
Belgium M51 helmet liner used by the Regimental Police
Regimental Police is formed by members of normal militairy units and they serve as police only within the units barracks and base. Responsible for maintaining discipline and supervising compliance with the road code on base. They have no authority in road traffic (for example convoy guidance), a task reserved for the Military Police.
The liner has been made by the company NV Menten SA: http://www.levior.com/site/frames.htm from Tongeren. Levoir is one of their brand names. Almost every Belgian helmet has a flag sticker at the left side. In the liner there is also a stamp ABL 1968, ABL = Armee Belge, Belgisch Leger.
This is a French Helmet "Sous Casque radio char M51" Type 2. Sous Casque means under helmet or liner. and could be used as a liner for the previous presented Model 51 TTA. Radio Char means tank radio, this helmet was designed so it could be used together with a tank communication system. This helmet is made by Richard Haas Cie in 1954. Société Industrielle de Plastiques RICHARD HAAS & Cie The C stamped next to the 54 tells us it is made of Céléron. The interior of this helmet is made just like the US M1 liner.
France Model 56 TAP = Troupes Aéroportées Modèle 1956. It was designed for use by paratroopers.
Finally I was able to obtaina complete 56 TAP. I bought this helmet on catwiki
The helmet shape of the Model 56 TAP is equal to the Model 51 TTA, the difference is that the Model 56 TAP has three fixed bails for the chin strap. To bad my helmet is missing the chin strap.
It has been made by the company Carpentier in Cusset in the year 1959.
The picture above shows how the Model 56 TAP was worn by paratroopers. The shell shape is exactly the same as the model 51 TTA but it now has three attachment points for the chin strap. The picture below shows how the chin strap is attached to the shell.
Below a picture of paratroopers wearing the TAP 56 found at tenes.info
This liner is made by SIA J.E. de Le Mans in 1970. This company still excists see: http://www.sia-industrie.fr/r The R within the stamp tells us this liner is made of Rilsan. Rilsan is the trading name for Nylon 11/Polyamide 11 which is a polyamide and bioplastic member of the nylon family of polymers. For more information see https://www.engineeringclicks.com/rilsan/.

The wz helmet. 2000 is a combat helmet made of composite materials used by the Polish army. It is gradually being withdrawn from service in favor of the wz.2005.
The wz helmet. 2000 is inspired by the German Schubert helmet. Its hull painted green, is of a characteristic shape. The headdress is composed of a profiled strapping and a "hammock" (similar to that of the Helmet wz.67). The sweat band made of black leather is attached with Velcro fasteners. Its ballistic resistance is comparable to other helmets of the same type (> 610 m / s). Its main flaw is limited compatibility with night vision binoculars.
