There's one or two of these out there that i'm aware of and they are black. I believe one carries the "fat rune" type decal, but best to ask Doug. He knows more about these black SS lids than I do.

perhaps i confuse this style with the fibre parade type of which i know very little as you can tell
Gday hellschickie,
The helmet looks as if it could have been a TR era Feuer Polizei (Fire Police) helmet (look at the liner and the leather tabs).German Polizei organisations were under the control of Himmler and the SS.It may have had a Polizei decal and a National insignia decal on it at one stage of it's life,under that hideous paint job.
But it may have been issued to another fire fighting organisation also.The answers are most likely under the paint.
I has little value though in that condition bar the OK liner.
Cheers
Dave
The M34 Blackie in the Hicks book with the Pocher decal I'm afraid is not real nor is it a fiber helmet. It's the same fake I used in the SS decal quiz. Remember I said it has fooled the best? It's a nasty bastard but we know it now thanks to its ADM fingerprint. Kelly agrees fully with my research as well.
PS jet lag is a bitch...I'm sitting here wide awake early Saturday morning in Brussels reading the forum lol
I'll take jet lag over shift work.
