Helmetcrazy Posted August 17, 2005 Posted August 17, 2005 Hello everyone,Thought I would share this one with all of you. It's a fire/police M-34 with tilted tri color shield and mobile swastika circa 1934...Shell stamping is Thale
Helmetcrazy Posted August 17, 2005 Author Posted August 17, 2005 Here you can see where the aluminum comb was removed and holes plugged up. You can just see the faint outline of the comb.Joey
Jim P Posted August 17, 2005 Posted August 17, 2005 That is definately a unique helmet,to me any way.I don't remember seeing that one before Joey.I love it.If you ever tire of it I know someone who will give it a good home.ME!Great looking lidJim P
Helmetcrazy Posted August 17, 2005 Author Posted August 17, 2005 Haha. Thanks Jim. The only way I will ever let go of this one is if someone pryed it from my dead kung fu grip I am however working on a twin brother to go with this helmet The owner has not said if he would sell it yet. All the best,Joey
John P. Moore Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 Joey - That's an interesting helmut. Is there a story to tell about how you acquired it?John
Julian Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 (edited) Very interesting helmet, Joey. I love the M-34s! This one is a talker. Hold on to it!J Edited August 24, 2005 by Julian
Helmetcrazy Posted August 24, 2005 Author Posted August 24, 2005 Thank you everyone.I wish there was a better story behind this helmet. I rescued this helmet along with another M-34 from one of the shady dealers on ebay. It was just a lucky day for me I guess. The seller has a lot of Latvian fakes he tries to pass as original. Soon as I recieved the pictures from the seller I knew this would be mine. I think I put in a max bid of $500 on both of them. I know it sounds crazy, but these are very hard to come by. It has taken me two years to find another wich I am working on getting. And no, I ended up paying just over $200 for it Joey
Scowen Posted August 25, 2005 Posted August 25, 2005 Sorry for coming in so late here, been on a trip to Munich.Love lid you have there Joey, these are so hard to find cheersDon
lach470 Posted August 31, 2005 Posted August 31, 2005 Great looker Joey....sure is a nice piece...can't say I have one with the swastika and tilted tri-colour. Good score!Rob
