Pics should be used to fully determine cosmetic condition. I have gathered as much information as I can find on this unique leather German firemans helmet from the pre WWII period. The writing on the helmet in German means Honoring God and defending their neighbors. The product is a pre WWII German leather firefighter’s helmet with a quote that reflects the German ideology of honoring God and defending their neighbors during World War I era. This original piece of militaria from Germany carries historical significance and serves as a unique collectible item for those interested in WWI. Helmet is delicate due to age of leather as pictured.
