So im asking for help from you.

Helmet with decal

Wide view of liner

Left buckle

Push Button clasp?????

Right side of helmet

Decal,

Yes, i know it's not the best shot. I tried 8 times to get close

Here is mine. I don't know too much on fire-police liners, but I know mine has good providence. It is without a doubt real. So may be it can help you.

I was wondering if anyone would answer.

Thanks for posting yours, I was assuming mine was crap from the start.
But i still would like to heaar from others before i shoot myself in the foot

Bob,

I am not really into these Feuerpolizei helmets but I believe it to be a post-war example that someone has embellished with a repro Police decal. Very rarely will you see one of these without the party shield on the right and, with the twin salt shaker vents the decal placement was normally in between the two vents.

D,
Do you think the helmet is post war?

I think the liner & decal is

Bob,

The shell may have been made during the war years but I believe it has been totally refurbished and used by the post-war German Fire Dept.

Cheers,

Darryl

Thanks for the help.
