Hi Folks: When we were visiting friends in Germany early this year,,,we visited a retired Polizei officer and his wife. While we were at their house, my wife said that I collected militaria. He walked down the hallway and came back carrying his Polizei service jacket and said that I could have it. I was surprised and floored but he walked again down the hallway and came back carrying his Polizei helmet and a plastic box containing all his insignia. He gave me the helmet and he said that I could have any of the insignia in the box. I selected some items with him. He said that his daughters wouldn't want any of it...so I could have what I wanted. This group is special to me...

Edelweisse,
That is some gift! You were very lucky that your wife mentioned that you collected militaria. Not everyday a helmet with decal drops into your lap.
Regards,

Exactly! The jackets are very easy to get, but not with a story to go with it
The helmet, on the other hand, is pretty pricey with the decal still intact.
Ironically I'm looking for a slightly older version of one of the badges you selected!

Excellent condition! Interesting that it is green and not gray-blue like the ones that were for sale a few years ago (I have one of those). Is there a date inside the helmet? I'm wondering if it might establish a "not older than" date.
