Item History & Price

Information:
Reference Number: Avaluer:133580Country/Region of Manufacture: Germany
Original Description:
EAST GERMAN MODEL 54 HELMET.  RARE-RARE-RARE!  It would be easier to find an original SS helmet than one of these.  Designed by Heinz Kessler to replace the surplus Soviet helmets then in use by the DDR.  It's unlike previous German helmets in that it has a shallow brow and high, squarish dome.  The "Barracked Peoples' Police", "camouflaged army", turned it down after trials but the actual police, VoPo's, accepted it for use as did the emergency services. ... It's well documented in Ludwig Baer's books on the history of the German Steel Helmet and was featured in early DDR VoPo parades, with and without police decals, worn by troops carrying MP-44s.  It's complete in all respects with supple leather and near mint paint.  Size is about 60.  This is the second model fitted with what became the the three point strap as used in the Model 56 helmet. I'll start it off with a low opening price but refuse to sell it cheap.  I've owned it for many years and the only reason I'm selling it now is because I'm moving my collection efforts in a new direction.  Thanks for looking!  I'll be putting more early EG pieces for sale in the future
