Here are some pics of the helmet, now that it's home. Poor pics but the holidays and lack of natural light have hindered the effort. I haven't been able to locate any markings on the inside and cannot figure-out who the manufacturer may have been. Also, the pad seems to be stuffed with straw or a similar material, probably not horse hair as mentioned on another thread.

Happy New Year!

Any comments on this helmet are welcome. Especially if anyone knows who the maker may have been.

Thank

This should look great in your collection Mark, are you going to collect helmets now mate?

Your decal is a Quist that would make your helmet the same.
It is also a curved dip M34.
Nice find.

Great helmet, Green! Been thinking of getting one of these myself..

Thank you guys!

Davo, I am really enjoying the two helmets that I have and don't object to adding another. No specific plans per se to collect helmets though. As you know, I'm pretty dedicated to Party badges and will continue with that endeavor. I will not turn away good finds though

Chris, thank you for the identification, I had no idea. I hope you are enjoying our current weather!

Slados28, these helmets are nicely priced and look even better. Maybe there were millions made or something, and maybe due to the helmet not being military, that price has been kept low. In any case, I'm glad the price is low.

If you start buying helmets you will not be able to stop.

Thanks, Steve

My thought process worked as such.....the helmet has everything in it that we like to collect. It has a great shape, a national symbol, and who doesn't like their local heroes, the police

Chris, I see why you can't stop!
