Description
The stamped metal construction civic M34 "square dip" style helmet retains most of its original black satin finish paint. The left side of the helmet has a silver bordered black based police decal with the second pattern silver wreathed police eagle as introduced on July 28TH 1936. The right side of the helmet has a party shield decal. The helmet has two separate groups of seven "salt & pepper" ventilation holes positioned on each side of the crown. All four of the flat headed liner retaining rivets are intact. The interior of the helmet has a M31 civic style light tan leather liner. Liner is complete. Original chinstrap is complete. The interior crown has the addition of leather crown lining panel with internal padding. Liner is size marked 56. Excellent. On June 17TH 1936, Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler was appointed to the newly created position of Chef der Deutschen Polizei im Reichsministerium des Innern, (Chief of the German Police in the National Ministry of the Interior), effectively giving him full control of all police agencies within Germany. As a result of this appointment and the restructuring of all the separate German state police into a single national police force new regulations were instituted to bring about uniformity in dress for all police through-out the country. The new dress regulations included an attempt to standardize the helmets of the Feuerschutzpolizei, (Fire Protection Police). Standardization of the helmets was never completely achieved although the black satin finish and the decals as introduced on July 28TH 1936 were pretty much universally worn through-out the Feuerschutzpolizei.
