Oddly, it was my 2nd helmet for my collection, so I didn't know it was out of the ordinary.

I have an M15 Prussian artillery helmet with that. Odd 'pebble' finish on the inside.

I knew a fellow in Germany who had a personal Feuerwehr Museum, very nice collection. I bought a Prussian artillery NCO helmet from him. (It didn't fit in with his collection). Isselhorst, NRW, but it's closed now.

There must be some hard core Feuerwehr / Polizei collectors out there!

Nice! Thanks all.

Hey Alan, If you ever come across a full set around the size shown below, which could be around a cm longer, but no shorter, could you give me a yell? Flat is good, but I prefer convex. Thanks! Ron

Not at the moment. Sorry.

Also, more helmets posted on ebay from this dealer.

Well, thanks to this site, I learned that my GdK officer to parade was a parts helmet, so since it wasn't easy to care for, I sold it to a reputable dealer who had a buyer. Even as a compilation of original parts, I more than doubled what I paid for it in the 1980's. So, I broke even. (and...
