LS just an abbreviation for Luftschutz, officially the reichs institute/ministry for air protection assigned identification numbers (kennummern) to manufactured items relative to equipment classes.  Class/group RL1 covered material used in gas protection and detoxification;  group RL2 (which includes the gladiator-type helmets) identifies fire protection equipment; group RL3 construction/camouflage/blackout; group RL4 communication/alarm; Group RL5 medical/veterinarian; group RL6 additional veterinarian materials; group RL7: miscellaneous labeled material.   These numbers can be further broken down as what the item is and the Mfg'er.  When I see a gladiator helmet I typically note it as an RL2 helmet (equivalency to M35/M40/M42 in combat nomenclature).  - Regards Don</blockquote>
