Schuma dutch helmets and decals

[Dimas]

Yea , the 3 small holders in the middle with 5 cartidges on the left picture looks like Steyr/Manlicher M. 93/95 . The holders are loaded in the rifles with the cartridges . After the last shot they falling down on earth out of the hole in the bottom of the rifle . Bob .

I know, this was my first rifle when I was 13 y.o boy, and this was my first weapon I've shot

Decal - on the Schuma Dutch Helmets

Hi Dimas,

Wonderful photos of the Dutch Helmet is use by the SCHUMA!
This type of helmet must rate as one of the "Rarest" types by Helmet Collectors! Seem that the SCHUMA was issued whatever type of Uniform & Equipment, which was available. This is the case for the SCHUMA's use of Uniforms of the Baltic Countries - then Allgemeine SS Uniforms, (with usually Blue Collars & Cuffs added) - then Polizei Uniforms - etc.

As for the SCHUMA Decal, it follows the Sleeve Patches & Side Cap Patches, which are recognized for the SCHUMA. I was unaware of the SCHUMA Decal on ANY type of helmet, until your Posting(!) Thanks

SCHUMA Patches are shown very well in the new book by Dieter Deuster's "Deutsche Polizei-Uniformen"

The book shows the various Schuma:

* Sleeve Patches -
* Cap Patches - & -
* National 'Identity' Kokardes

- - - As below, from bottom to top.. ....

It would be GREAT - "IF" Anyone has Photos of the SCHUMA Helmet, with a Decal, in actual wear! Now, that would be "RARE"
...Txs, Dave/dblmed

New BOOK with SCHUMA Information -

Buy the Book as a reference! "Deutsche Polizei-Uniformen" - by Dieter Deuster -

if you have a general interest in the Polizei branches (& especially if you are interested in the SCHUMA or the TeNo (Technische Nothilfe.) It really clears up a lot of previously unknown, or confusing, information - & the Bibliography leads you to the original sources, for a further detailed study of the regulations.

I bought my copy on German ebay [ ebay.de ] Ja! YES - it is in German, but you don't need to speak German to enjoy the tables (tafels) and photos. I'm slowly translating my copy, [ Babelfish! ] as I find this book to be that worthwhile!... Txs, Dave/dblmed
