Original German Fire Police (Feuerschutzpolizei) steel helmet, transitional wartime example retaining its characteristic black finish.
This helmet features a double decal configuration, with the Police eagle on one side and the national shield on the other. Both decals remain visible, showing expected wear and age, with partial loss consistent with service use.
The shell retains its original black paint, typical of Fire Police reissue helmets during the wartime period. Ventilation holes and overall form are consistent with German civic helmet patterns adapted for paramilitary and emergency services.
The interior retains a period liner, heavily worn and fragile, showing clear signs of age and use. The chinstrap is missing, as noted.
A solid and displayable example of a Fire Police helmet, representing the intersection of civilian and paramilitary organizations in wartime Germany.
Condition:
Good overall condition for its type. Paint shows wear and handling marks. Decals are partially worn but still clearly identifiable. Liner is present but fragile with significant deterioration. Chinstrap absent.
