Helmet?????
hello All;
I am no expert on these at all, But this German helmet is coming up on an estate auction locally. I am sorry this is the only photo I have of this and I haven't seen it in person yet.
Could any one advise me about this with what little information I have .
Thanks,
John

Not an SS helmet but an M34 Fire-Police Helmet...the other side should have the police eagle...

No, it is a relatively common Police helmet. It is a civil (not combat) light weight M34 style shell. With a decent liner and chinstrap, and a Police Decal (a black shield, usually bordered, but not always , with a silver outline of the shield, and a silver standing eagle holding a mobile swastika, inside of an oak leaf wreath) on the left side of the shell, it would be worth $175-$225 in my opinion.

Agree with all forum members above, Looks like there are slots for metal or aluminum comb to go on top for fire use. I also bet there is a top pad in top of helmet from inside. timothy

Agree 110% with our honourable friends , hammer down , pay no more than £350 , not the £5000 a double decal SS would set you back!! Leon.
