DESCRIPTION
This is a rare early war circa 1936-39 fire protection police services helmet that would have been used during the war for local police and fire department services. Made from a light weight aluminum to reduce weight and a rolled rim featuring an aluminum nickel plated comb to protect against falling debris. Both decals (black polizei and red party shield) are Uber mint and nearly 100% perfect which is rare to see especially on these early models which have had more years of abuse that later versions.
After this version they went with the salt and pepper style M34 helmets without the comb and streamline production.
If you're a decal guy like I am you will truly appreciate how minty both decals are.

GERMAN HELMET FACTORY PRODUCTION CODES
(Every original German helmet produced from 1935 to 45 had two factory stampings punched into the side and rear or both in the rear. The alpha numeric number refers to the factory location and the inside metric circumference in centimeters. The rear lot number refers to the production run and was used as a quality control measure. The font styles used at each factory were slightly different but highly consistent throughout the war and so fakes or reproductions will either not have these numbers at all or they will use the wrong font style or letter spacing and so are easily identified as post war made.)
