WWII GERMAN EARLY RURAL POLICE HELMET - SS
This is an M-35 type helmet. Issued to the rural police, which was a predecessor to the SS. Complete with the leather liner. The helmet came equipped
with a leather chin strap - the sample illustrated here is missing half of it.
Of dual decals. One of them has been scratched off. This was a common practice when de-nazifying an article.
The edges of the helmet are rolled in. The manufacturing process to achieve this effect was more
time consuming. This practice was abandoned in later years.
The leather liner of the M-35 helmet can be seen here. A string would secure all the internal flaps
together. That is missing from this helmet. The chinstrap was made of leather as well. A small
section of it remains here. The back section of the helmet was stamped with its size and manufacturer
information. While most of the helmets received the stamp, it is possible to find samples that
do not have it.
