    Hi Stefas

    I don't know really..but I guess M54 is the one Im looking for..quite strange looking shape and I only know it under the name Kessler-Glocke.

    Would really like to see a photo with this helmet in wear..if it was worn?!

    Regards

      Thaelmannpioneer,

      Here is a photo of the M-54 helmet in wear. Not sure if this is the helmet to which you making reference by a different name, but this photo should at least clarify whether the two are one and the same. It was primarily worn by the Barracks Police and was most often seen with the Polizei Starburst Decal on the helmet's left side. There are some very rare specimens with the Tri-color Shield Decal around. A member of the Forum who on rare occasion posts, I believe has three of these helmets - One with the single chin strap; one with the newer chin strap associated with M-56; and one with the Tri-color Shield Decal.

      Photo of M-54 in use:

        Wow..That's the one!!!


        Thank you Michael for providing such a rare and beautyfull photo

        I've seen this kind of Helmet at a Auction and I could just remember the term Kessler-Glocke.

        Is this photo out of a book?
        Thanks again for this photo..It's already in use as my new Desktop Screen,If you don't mind

          Hi Thaelmannpioneer,

          I have so many photos I sometimes lose track of where they all originate. I think it is from a book, but I failed to note the source and therefore cannot at this time tell you. For sure it is one that is out of print, otherwise I would have noted it, so I could give credit to the author.

          About the Helmet. They are very expensive. I won a very nice looking one a few months ago on ebay for more money than I care to share with members on the forum. After sending payment, I never received it. So far, it is the first and only time a German Seller in Germany has taken money from me. Unfortnately, it was a lot of money. If I were in Germany when it happened, I would have gone to KRIPO and made a criminal complaint. I now try not to bid on anything from German Sellers I do not know, no matter how tempting the item, or how badly I need it for my collection.

            Im sorry to hear such bad news ..i know they usally sell from 600eur to opend end.
            is there nothing you can do about this crime?
            I reckon not..if you are in the States and the Seller sits in Germany
            and you probably didn't use paypal for the Payment..otherwise you have a chance to get the Money back..
            give me his adress and I'll go and knock on his door.(with my new FJ Boots )

                  another large KVP Photo from my Collection.

                  This one is quite special.It is original and it looks like someone tried to add some colour to it. But this was made by the photographer to colorize it.

                      It is interesting to see the attempt to put color in the photo...and you know what his collar tabs are...

                        Hi Ralph

                        Good question ..I thought "Meister der KVP" ....at least,that's what these shoulderboards stand for within the Volkspolizei.

                          Hey Andreas...The color depiction of the collar tabs could be KVP infantry. What makes it a bit difficult for me is that the shoulder boards do not appear to be fully colored in.
