M34 SS helmet

**pavol** · 10-24-2021, 09:10 PM

Hello together,

I would like to hear your opinions about following M34 SS helmet. Is it original ? It is probably being sold by some older man, these people still use the communist furniture etc here in eastern part of European Union. Do not let the background of the photo influence your judgement ...

Thanks a lot in advance,

Wow, congratulations!...If our friend Schwerpunkt says it's a Good One, then it's a Good One for sure...I'm always amazed at what's still out there waiting to be discovered by those with a learned eye...This type of M34 never fails to remind me of Josef Bloesche...
cheers, Glenn

I think his +1 is in reference to johnson providing more information, rather than giving a thumbs up to the helmet.

Yes. that is correct

Personally I'm not familiar with Civil helmets and the correct decal types. So I have little to add here.

Jim G I think as a few of these. Hopefully he sees this thread.

Too late, I missed it, but it was not cheap at all. Seller was probably collector himself, looking at the photos he made. Maybe the guy who bought it will post it on forums ...

Let's hope nobody did :-)
To be honest , from the photos provided I do not like it.
The Edelstahl original DD SS really pop when you see an original one but a lot of no decal Teno helmets exist that are made into SS.
So one must be careful.
