Himmler Style Schupo / Gendarme Helmet

[Stevade]

Hi All,
Just added this Schup/Gendarme to the Police Helmet collection.
As you can see on from the pictures this Helmet had something spilt over it at some time, most came off using my thumb nail, but still small run on the Police Decal.
The Helmet has no manufacturer markings, the Helmet is heavy and combat weight.
The Decals are Methner & Burger Type which have been around since 1935 so likelythe Helmet dates fairly early
Not the original Liner cord .... I added it so it didn’t start to curl.
Hope you enjoy the Pictures.

Many thanks all for your interest and replies .... I don’t think Herr Schmidt had a lot of action going by the condition of his Helmet!!
