Nazi German Third Reich WW2 Era Model 1934 Fireman’s Double Decal Steel Helmet With Liner Chinstrap & Leather Neck Guard. Sn 23806:3 - 23806:3
With the Nazi rise to power in 1933, the size of the various German organizations was greatly increased, resulting in greater demand for helmets than could be filled with WWI surplus. As a result, a variety of new helmet types were created to fill this demand. Most of these helmets were copies of the WWI type helmets, a new helmet type was created for use by German police, fire protection crews, and other organizations. Known to collectors as the M34, it featured a lower profile than the WWI helmets, and “salt shaker” style air vents instead of the earlier “Frankenstein” lugs. Other helmets were produced that followed this same general pattern, and were used by the Luftschutz and other organizations. This original third reich fireman’s helmet is in excellent condition. It retains its original blue / black hue finish and has the correct low profile silver coloured combe and ‘salt shaker’ type vent holes. The decals on this German fireman’s helmet are excellent. The Nazi Eagle with Swastika and Nazi party Swastika decals within shields have their original finish and vivid colour. The interior of the helmet is complete, with a nice liner ink stamped with size ‘59’ and leather chin strap with buckle. The rear skirt of the helmet is mounted with its original leather neck protector guard. There are no maker or date marks on the inner rim but they may be present under the neck guard.
