SARGE Posted December 16, 2019 Share #1 Posted December 16, 2019 Gents, This is an early East German Fire Service (Feuerwehr) helmet. The black painted helmet has a padded internal suspension system very similar to the WWII German Feuerwehr helmets. This helmet was manufactured by VEB Perfect and is so marked on the natural leather liner. It is also unit stamped and numbered on the interior. There is a removable leather neck shield, which is generally missing on FW helmets, that is designed to keep water and hot embers from going down your collar. This particular helmet has a Police (Volkspolizei) decal on the left side of the helmet but I am not certain this insignia is original to the helmet however this is the way it came to me.
