Mauro,

It is a "Werkschutz' factory guard helmet. I know a collector who said that he went to Germany to buy a collection and 75% turned out to be reproductions. These are being reproduced with BMW, Walther, Messerschmidt, Folk-Wolfe and many other labels.

I have no information on how to spot the repros from original.
