    Tony,

    No they are still a one piece helmet that has failed to come up to code somehow.  They exist in all three models ie 35, 40 and 42.  they are often called Kradmelder  helmets but the bottom line is they failed code and are re entered into a production line that then stamps the beaded ring into the helmet so that it can never be confused with a helmet that passed code.  They are then sent down the civic line Fire Luftschutz etc.  I do have some where there are obvious flaws on the helmet.  I shall try and dig them up.

    I can't remember where I found these but are a good reminder of models of helmets, also, those of you who have relics with no stampings there's an identifying method for the manufacturer (well sort of as long as you have comparisons),
