Pulled out the Police helmets this week. I don’t think I have posted this one before, a well preserved M42 Police helmet. I think it is a fairly textbook example although I am not too sure about the names on the liner. Otherwise a complete piece. Hope you like it. Jim G.

Nice to see a new Ww2 helmet topic here , best hkp I have seen Jim.

Very nice one indeed.
Looks like it was used yesterday!
Good showcase of the fact that decals were hand applied and prone to being applied in a kind of crooked way.
Love the thick textured paint, too.

Very nice real deal patina on that one Jim. Nice and untouched ...sweet lid. Anytime you want to meet at your Storage Shed for a helmet party I'm game

. Not too far

A great example. I have not been able to find a nice one to add to my collection. Thanks for posting.

Never seen that config before and with the darker paint on the shell, that party shield really pops Jim! Nice tight liner too. I really like this one.
