WW2 German M34 ''Curved Dip'' Feuerschutzepolizei Helmet.

This example has had at least two coats of black finish, the last was applied by a brush, there might well have been decals at one point. Paint finish is nearly 100% complete, shell is dent free. Top comb again dent free with some minor loss of its chromed finsh. The inner liner system is complete and stamped to a fire brigade unit to the top pad, this pad is loose as its arms have come adrift from the helmet liner frame. The back ''punched applied'' liner pin has worn through the card liner frame, other two are without issues. The leather chinstrap has its short end with a 1930's American patented clasp as seen on many early WW2 fire helmets, but missing the long end. I may add im using ''Goodapple and Maertz'' helmet categorisation when using the term ''curved dip'' as ive always been a fan of there early helmet books since my youth and its always nice to find a variant when it comes to M34 lids.
