Hello!

I see that not many Pol. helmets have been
posted recently. So, here's mine.

This fellow wore his helmet for a long
time. The forehead area of the liner
is very wrinkled from sweat, and the
whole liner is discolored from contant
wear.

The chinstrap is dated 1938, Larsen, Berlin.
There is a faint dome stamp inside. The
man's name "Schwind" along with "60."
is written on the liner. ET64 stamped
on inner skirt. There is even a little
blood inside too.
There are many scratches on the outside
and the exposed steel has darkend over
the years. This came from a vet's widow.

Cheers,
Marcus

Do anyone know what the "60" means?

Here is a shot of some blood on
the liner.

Cheers,
Marcus

Thanks gents! I really appreciate the compliments. I think Police helmets are
among the most attractive TR helmets ever produced.

I sure wish "Schwind" had marked his first name
or at least his intial. As much as this one
was worn, I would love to know his wartime
career. Just from the way the helmet looks,
one can tell his guy went through hell and back.

Thanks again for the nice words!

Cheers,
Marcus
