An other one similare Feuerwehr or Police helmet but I don't no about this ...

 

[poniatowski]

I've only been able to find one bear with a collar, usually looking up, rather than back, which is Berlin. So fire, police, fraternal, school?

Found it! It is on page 63 of the Reich Radecke Police/fire book volume 1.

it is indeed Anhalt, the book includes a 3 page article about it in German.

James, because you own that reference book, could you please have a look concerning this one that H. Weitze is selling? It´s a big enigma for me...
And if somebody has an idea about the cockade colors....Totally unknown to me...
Thank you!

Sorry to say, that one is not shown in any of the 4 volumes. Appears to be a Saxony shield on the wappen?

only one I have ever seen beside in the book, still pricey IMO.

Yes, there is a whole other collecting community of Fire/Police helmets.

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.

Wow it sold for 5,600 Euros!
