M34 Polizei for comments please

[Stevade]

Hi All,

Hopefully I can add this to my Polizei Helmet Collection.

Can anyone tell why the National Shield Decal has an overlay Swastika?

No further details other than the attached pictures ...

Chinstrap is identical as a WW1 M18.
Liner is marked 56.
Inner edge marked ... EDELSTAH

Any help appreciated as always.

First time I have seen this !! Can only assume a printing offset. The black border appears compromised also. The top & bottom of it looks very thick compared to the sides. Both decals are original (if that helps)

It works better if you save the photos from the website directly instead of taking screenshots , a lot of detail is lost otherwise.
The party shield is thickly printed which is an oddity but it looks good.

It looks like a fine example to me. I would not call this helmet an M34 , for me it is a medium duty edelstahl helmet. M34 helmets for me have the salt shaker vent holes.

Well that is an odd looking decal, but i to like it,very unusual, but I see nothing to suggest that it is not a period applied example, a real oddity and one well worth having. Leon.

Thanks all...... my feelings exactly.

Hi Schwerpunkt
Yes I’ve posted all my Police Helmets previously, on WRF and GHW.

Here they are.
