Textbook and quite a nice one

I shall let the Stahlhelm experts confirm it, but I believe that is a nice original example "civic square dip" form lid, in nice condition too.

Regards,

Hi Octavian, look like good standard Pocher decals to me(the crazing is a real winner!!), go for it!!! Leon. P.S. liner looks OK too.

Looks honest as a judge, and he is a good guy to buy from, I checked the pics on the site, it was definatly issued as a civil fire helmet and the top comb was removed and plugged, and neck flaps removed, this was common when reissued as a civil police helmet, fairly priced and named, go get it!

Seen that one as well and liked it, only thing I noticed that kept me from getting it are the two holes, one on each side... what's up with those? They're not supposed to be there in any real wartime capacity, right? I concluded that the holes were the reason for the relatively low price.

The price is correct,will not last long.

Those holes are not suppose to be there, maybe it has something to do with a chinstrap being crudely replaced at one time, or extra ventilation lol not sure if its a period thing or not but the value is about 100 more without that flaw.

I see it has gone down $50 since last I checked. Seems like it's low for a reason and I'm guessing it's due to the drilled holes (imho post-war), one close to/beneath each decal.
