I think it should have remained a police helmet, even if the price was low.
But ok.

Agreed. This seemed quite needless

When I checked the Lotnumber and the manifacturer I saw that it was the ET64 with the Lot 3574.
This helmet was described in the list as one out of the „fat-runes“-serial/charge.
There will be many helmets with the same LOT number - what makes you think your helmet would have the SS runes underneath?
Each LOT number could have been attributed to multiple branches and indeed this can be seen with other LOT numbers.
IMO, the removable of the paint has ruined the helmet.

Hi, it has told an interesting story, but i must admit that i would have left it as it was, a nice post war police decal helmet, can't say i have seen to many of them over the years. Leon.

With respect it's your property and you can do what you want to it, but being honest you have ruined a nice lid.

Hi Bavarian
If I may...first off the only "List" I am familiar with is Franks lot# list. I don't know any Brian Ice & believe me, I know anyone worthy of knowing in the helmet field.
You are taking too much credence in lot# identification. Your lot# coincides with factory produced helmets of 1937 vintage. It could have been a Heer or police. As far as Kelly referencing to "Fat Runes" with that lot# sequence, well that could be too. You need to learn what Lot#'s signify. Really not much. On certain makers, it will give you a timeline as to when the helmet was produced, that's about it.
The list available ONLY show similarities of branch of service that have been observed post war for that particular maker & year of manufacture.
See my attached M35 1937 dated Heer with a very close lot# as yours. It's neither SS nor police. The Lot# is 3570 which fits into your (Brian Ice theory of "Fat Rune SS). Hope this helps

Hi David, i agree with all you have said above, all i will add is that Brian Ice has collected lot numbers and published them in books over here in the UK for many years, he is as far as i know NOT a helmet collector, just searches for original confirmed examples on forums such as ours and collects the numbers!! Leon.
