This is a Fuerhelm, at least that was the concensus when I posted it some time ago, before I reattached the front visor. I continue to wonder which wappen ought to be on it as there is no 'ghost' on the skull - however the mounting holes may provoke some suggestions. The main wappen mounting holes are 75mm apart, measuring from the inner edges of the holes, and there are two smaller indents 48mm apart, implying a badge 'overlaid' on the main device. Any ideas?
Also, I have to ask if it was normal for a fire service helmet to use Star bolts on the spike base and have both Prussian and reichskokarden (Officer grade)?
Here is an example I thought might be the one but now, not so sure,..
Now mine,..
Lacking any books on fire service helms I welcome any suggestions,
Steve
