Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very nice genuine steel construction M34 “Square Dip” Third Reich helmet, outfitted for German WWII civic police issue. It features genuine double decals of civic eagle and NSDAP swas. Comes with complete leather liner and cork washers still intact and tight with all 4 split pins. The liner is in very good condition for its age, showing light staining and wear. It still has an original size 57 marked on the front, and the rear tabs for a leather “skirt” are still attached. The chin strap is also leather, though it is dried out and cracked, and is over all in a delicate condition.
The exterior of this German helmet retains almost all of the original black paint, with some small chips and scratches, and overall patination. The NSDAP decal is about 75% complete, with some small chips and scrapes, and the civic eagle is about 90%, with some scratching and chipping. The helmet is marked Q over the left ear, indicating it was manufactured by Quist in Esslingen, Germany.
Overall a great opportunity to get a truly excellent example of a WWII Civic Police helmet. Ready to display!
