M34 Double Decal Police - Combat Weight

[helmet2id]

This is one I have owned for about 15 years. It is a plain M34 double decal helmet, but is made out of combat weight steel. Nothing exciting about it other than it is a rarely seen version of this style helmet. Hope you like it. Jim G.

Hi Mark, I think you are right, many of the dome pads were stuffed with horse hair, but I think other materials were used as well. Glad you like this one. It weighs about 2.6 pounds, about the same as a standard combat M35. Cheers, Jim G.

Very nice lid Jim I could not remember all the detail about the dome pads there was something there in the back of my mind thanks for setting me straight at 2.6 pounds that is a very heavy lid indeed.
