Re: Old helmet or repro?
:shok_yikesIt looks like a square dip police helmet. Thats far too much money for this particular helmet, if it was fully intact ie liner , pins, and chin strap and better paint work perhaps but not in this state

Hi, i agree, its too much money, my advice is skip this one, keep looking and youll find another one, maybe better than this one.
Best regards

Re: Old helmet or repro?
Hey Andrew, you know that is a post-war fireman's helmet and not a pre-1945 Polizei right?

Re: Old helmet or repro?
no i guess i'm not aware of it being post war fire police helmet.. i picked it up from the vet that said he brought it back some years ago. to my knowledge its a pre 45 fire police helmet no one else that has ever seen it thought it was post war. i'm interested in what it is that makes you see something else. i'm not a helmet collector as such. i only have 3 for display.

Re: Old helmet or repro?
my mistake i guess for it to be fire police it should have the silver comb. its actually civic police. rail station guards, factory guards. but pre 1945.
here is some information on it.
World war two German helmet types

Re: Old helmet or repro?
Look I used to buy these for 10 euros slap on two decals and sell them for $100 bucks, these were and still are used by German Firemen but are being replaced by fiberglass helmets and are sold as surplus. Look at the liner, it is not 65 years old.
