Somewere on the web i read that the special constabulary medal with king George v without crown were issued between 1931 and 1936. 

So Tony is right. 

But i dont realy unterstand what those special constabulary man are for - are they police man?

Greetings 

Stefan 

Thank you very much Tony! 

I will look on the linked Website Quick as possible. 

Its always nice to see when someone survived that horrible war. My great grandfather startet 1914 as Unteroffizier an in 1916 he lost his leg. He was shot and a couple weeks Later he lost his leg in Hospital.

Great War service

Special Constables who served without pay during World War I from 1914-1918 for three years, and performed at least 150 police duties were eligible to be awarded the medal. Recipients who received the medal under these conditions were entitled to a clasp to their medal denoting World War I service.

Special Constabulary

Hello all,

got this Relic Austrian M17 Helmet. My dad have cancer and he always wished a german/Austrian ww1 helmet. So since i dont have big money i jumped on this relic. After cleaning i saw the the outer shell has paint (on the pictures the helmet looks like crap). Its the original Field Grey Factory Paint - overpainted with matt dark green. The Shell also have a battle damage in the rim.

Just found one stamp on the top of the helmet It says "414" - no other maker marks.

Hope you like this helmet a little and i hope my dad will be lucky when he saw the hemet next time

Greetings

Stefan

Wow nice one! 

Can you please make a clearer shot of the Reverse? Never Saw such a beauty 

Thank you very much. I found that helmet and photo to. But i wonder why just an anchor and why blue. 

I found a recruting Poster from the mariniers with that helmet - thats why i thought it was maybe such a helmet 

And here a similar oneSteel helmet and liner - but its Green with a yellow anchor 

Hello all, 

Found this M1 clone. The liner were over painted and used as carneval hat. 

After cleaning the liner is white and have a crowned blue anchor at the front. 

I Saw similar helmets used by the royal dutch marines (koninklijke mariniers)

Maybe some here has a clue for me 

Have a nice Day 

Stefan 

Hello Jim,

The peppels are fine - after a fire the spange had a very dark tarnish on it and after the exhibition they tryed to clean it before i got it back. 

Thats why the tarnish Looks a little crazy. 

Cant do much better with my camera. 

Thats what i think - i never Put the eagle for Display. Just found it again a few days before. 

Hello Chris,

Hello al,

Hello all,

The luftwaffe soldier hasewn in shoulder boards - maybe thats why he used this method - its a little strange because he could simple use some of those sliders (I dont know the correct Word in english)
