Aluminum Firefigher-DDR?
At the peril of my string suspicion this is DDR I wanted to submit for input.
aluminum shell, repainted black
Comb seems correct and has a what I can only describe as a lather gasket between it and the helmet
size 55-rather small ( I thought my head was small geeez)
several names
cork pads band from shell
straps unmarked
if you need better pics let me know
thanks in advance

An original WWII Era M34-type Fireman's Helmet with aluminum comb...Nothing DDR about this one, friend...it's a good one.
cheers, Glenn
glen your kidding- come on
not DDR General.
awesome, I read somewhere that they took the combs off for scrap purposes for the war effort is that correct?
Looks good to me...I've never heard that story about the removal of the combs for scrap-drives...
