b.loree said:No clue...some sort of city police helme?? I know the lion bosses on the scales suggest Bavarian but that wappen has Prussian eagle wings and oak leaves reminicent of a Hessen helmet. Brian
Robert said:Hi, this is a helmet plate from the Gemeindepolizei Nürnberg, a local police unit. It is documented by Erich Radeke (first part), p. 42. I cannot open the ebay link because it is blocked for my country, but I suppose it is the typical bavarian police helmet with lion heads and smooth spike. The helmet shown by Radeke has chin scales.
poniatowski said:So, did you bid on the helmet? A bit rough in shape, but might restore if done carefully. Looks to need just the front visor trim and cockade?
