Re: German Fire WATER Police Steel Combat Helmet NS64
Hi Kradspam
You might be right, but there are many helmets in Denmark from the war wcich are in really good condition, they look like they have never been used. I have another helmet which was stored in a bunker in Copenhagen, it look as it just has left the factory, and the dansih Civil Defense used the german helmets some years after the war. I still think the helmet is oroginal, but has been changed at one time, and I can feel and see on the painting on the right side that there has been a decal.
Regards
John

Re: German Fire WATER Police Steel Combat Helmet NS64
John your helmet is a ww2 NS64 shell.
But it has been repainted and a comb added post war.
I do not see any decals ,would need better pictures.

Re: German Fire WATER Police Steel Combat Helmet NS64
It is the wrong style of helmet to be be a fire, police, Its not a m34.......... note the lack of vents and comb slots.
Its a very post war modified helmet, the fire and police helmets are rare nor expensive.

Re: German Fire WATER Police Steel Combat Helmet NS64
There could be a decal under there though I can't really see anything, but usually these helmets were stripped to bare metal after the war before being repainted black. For what it is as a post war re-used German helmet it's a pretty nice example, but not hugely collectable to a WW2 collector.

Re: German Fire WATER Police Steel Combat Helmet NS64
In 1977 i was visiting family in Germany we went to the fire hall where my dad had been a volunteer fireman,they were switching to the modern helmets and my dad had asked that we pick up a couple of helmets for him. When we got back home(from vacation) my dad actually took one which he suspected was a war time helmet,he carefully stripped the external paint and the decals and everything(paint) were underneath...

Nice story, but I am "afraid" to stip of the paint to see if there is any decal, that will be an investigation for further generations :-), but I am sure there has been one, I can feel a diffrence in the level of paint and see a Square.

Hi KMMorris
Yes, I am sure it is a M34 which has been modified.

John I am sorry but this is in no way a M34,it is a M40 combat helmet NS is never found in civic helmets.
This is not a variation of a M34.
I collect civic helmets I know what I am talking about.
