Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very nice genuine steel construction M34 “Square Dip” Third Reich helmet, outfitted for German WW2 civic police issue. It features genuine double decals of civic eagle and NSDAP swas. Comes with complete simulated leather liner and cork washers still intact and tight with all split pins. The leather liner is in very good shape, with the correct 9 fingers and ventilated brow area, and even the original top tie! It is marked with size 57 on the rear, as well as the name A Kocher on the right side, and still has the original tabs for attachment of a leather neck skirt. The leather chin strap is present, though it does have a staped repair on the right side, so it is in somewhat delicate condition.
The exterior of this German helmet retains almost all of the original black paint, with some small chips and scratches, and overall wear and speckling The NSDAP decal is about 85% complete, with some small chips and scrapes, and the civic eagle is about 75%, with a scrape running down the right side almost top to bottom. Both decals have a lovely orange huge to them from the enamel used to protect them, which has changed color over the years. There is also a faint DRP / THALE stamp next to a large letter A on the rear skirt, indicating production by the Eisenhüttenwerke, Thale factory. There is also a bit of the logo above the markings visible.
Overall a great opportunity to get a very nice of a German WWII Civic Police helmet. Ready to display!
