Nazi German Third Reich Model 1934 Thale DRP Fireman’s Double Decal Steel Helmet With Liner. Sn 21208 - 21208
With the Nazi rise to power in 1933, the size of the various German organizations was greatly increased, resulting in greater demand for helmets than could be filled with WWI surplus. As a result, a variety of new helmet types were created to fill this demand. Most of these helmets were copies of the WWI type helmets, a new helmet type was created for use by German police, fire protection crews, and other organizations. Known to collectors as the M34, it featured a lower profile than the WWI helmets, and “salt shaker” style air vents instead of the earlier “Frankenstein” lugs. Other helmets were produced that followed this same general pattern, and were used by the Luftschutz and other organizations. This original third reich fireman’s helmet is in excellent condition. It retains its original blue/black finish and has the correct low profile silver coloured combe and ‘salt shaker’ type vent holes. The decals on this German fireman’s helmet are excellent. The Nazi Eagle with Swastika and Nazi party Swastika decals within shields have all of their original finish and vivid colour. The interior of the helmet is complete, with a nice liner and leather chin strap tabs (chin strap absent). The rear skirt of the helmet is stamped with a manufacturer logo, “DRP” (indicating Deutsches Reichs-Patent) and “Thale,” the city where this helmet was made in the 1930s. The helmet has no dents and is approx. UK size 7 ½. The price includes UK delivery. Sn 21208
