    Default Helmet M1951 and M1953 - Police of Baden-Württemberg

    Hello,

    Like all other West German states, Baden-Württemberg introduced the steel helmet modeled on the M40 with a simplified inner lining for its police force in 1951.

    There are some variants from Baden-Württemberg, which I would like to introduce below.

    The helmet also seems to have been represented not only by the riot police but also by all areas of the police.

    Regards

    Here is an early helmet used by the Baden Württemberg police.

    It is painted in a lighter green, mint green.

    The helmet shell has the typical thick bulges around the ventilation opening.

    The helmet shell was manufactured by Linnemann & Schnetzer (LS).


    On the left there is a coat of arms of the country
    Baden Württemberg with 3 black lions / pumas looking to the left on a shiny golden background.

    The coat of arms is not placed directly under the ventilation opening but a little to the rear.

    A simplified M1931 inner lining with a plastic ring was built into the helmet. At the front there is a cushion made of moss rubber and otherwise felt.

    But, the helmet is personalized !
    It´s, former, owner was a POM, a Polizei Obermeister, (police sergeant first class), doing duty in Polizeirevier (precinct) 74189 Weinsberg.

    The decal is chipped, but, anyway, a very interesting lid, isn´t it ?

    Here is the next helmet variant of the Baden Württemberg police.

    The helmet shell does not have a manufacturer's mark, only the shell size.
    However, the helmet has the typical bulges around the ventilation opening from Linnemann & Schnetzer.

    The coat of arms of the state of Baden Württemberg is on the left under the ventilation opening.
    What is unusual here is that the lions / pumas look to the right instead of to the left on a golden background.
    This is definitely wrong as the shape of the coat of arms is mandatory and leaves no room for interpretation.
    The stickers cannot be attached the wrong way round or mirrored, as they only stick on one side and only look like this from one side. The underside is only one color without motifs.
    The only explanation can only be that they were wrongly manufactured but still used.

    A simplified M1931 inner lining with a plastic ring was built into the helmet. Under the leather in the forehead area there is a pad made of foam rubber, otherwise made of felt.

    Here is a revised helmet that was found at a police station. It was overmolded in fir green and did not have the coat of arms of the state of Baden Württemberg.

    However, under the color you can see an old coat of arms.

    After removing the paint, it turned out to be a very rare helmet from the former Stuttgart City Police.

    The helmet is presented separately.

    This is followed by an M1953 helmet from the Baden Württemberg state police.

    Instead of the three split pins, the inner lining is held in place by a single central screw in the top of the shell dome.
    This is the improved interior M1931, manufacturer designation "I53".

    The leather is on a protective galvanized adjustable metal ring.
