Shako Helmet ?

[johnschou]

Hi Forum
I am in doubt about this Shako Helmet, could it be from WWII or is it postwar. I know it was weared by the police and it was used until the 1970. I have googled (Shako - Wikipedia) the history about the helmet, but I am in doubt about its age. Alle info are welcome

Regards
John

Post-war, imo. Nordrhein-Westphalen?

Hi Luc
Thank you for your help.

It looks unissued and the perforations on the liner seem only complete on 1/3 of the front.
The drawstring looks like it just left the factory.

Yes, it could look like Nordrheim- Westphalen; Coat of arms of North Rhine-Westphalia - Wikipedia

Yes, it looks new, it has not been used much I think, though it is "fragile", it must be "old".

Fully agree with Luc, nice post-war NRW shako.

Perhaps someone could have a look at this post from 9/10:
Polis Shako, does it look right?
I know too little about shakos (but for the obvious cases) so I'd be glad to learn more about this one.

Hello,
I confirm, Tschako of the troop police of the BRD of Nordrhein-Westfahlen, size 55, painted cockade, lace conforms, indeed there is an anomaly at the level of the perforations.
Tschako worn from 1950 until at least 1963.
