Re: Help with ID on New Helmet Purchase
Looks like a German civil M34 'Square dip' helmet to me. I believe these were used by civilian organisations such as police and fire service during the Third Reich Period. If you do a google image search for 'm34 helmet' you will see lots of similar ones.

Re: Help with ID on New Helmet Purchase
This is a first for me some might consider this rare to find one in this condition most are usually in pretty good condition, but if you are happy with it as said before that's all that counts

Re: Help with ID on New Helmet Purchase

Re: Help with ID on New Helmet Purchase
My first one was a M34 too. But in very good condition. Probably your helmet saw a lot more of the war than mine. Forgetting about price, it's interesting how each one of us like helmets with specific characteristics and condition. And each one of them are a saved piece of history. Congratulations for your new helmet.

Re: Help with ID on New Helmet Purchase
As stated Civil M-34 fire police nothing rare about them lots of them around don't sell like combat helmets or as sought after I have seen some pretty bad I don't know how much that might clean up and if you got it cheap enough and like it that is all that counts Look inside skirt for a maker or distributer mark such as Sta Tha or other markings. timothy
