m34 model SS helmet decals

[derek]

I was trying out the super macro lens on my new camera trying to capture the metallic quality of Pocher runes on an m34 edelstahl helmet. Nearly all the examples I have seen of these particular helmets have virtually intact runic badges. Partly to do with the security role of this particular model I presume but the particular paint surface of these seems to hold the decal well. It may perhaps also be due to the fact that several examples were found in storage. One batch was found in Holland in the early 1960's.

M-34 Ss

Hello,
I do like the M-34 style of helmet. I had owned one myself, but sadly I was a dumb kid (at the time) and traded it for some things I thought was neater at the moment.

I agree with others, could we please see the rest of the helmet?

Regards,
Jody

I agree with Bryan, wicked decals for reference. And I agree with everyone else, we need to see the rest of that beauty!

Here's the exterior of the helmet. I have also noticed that on these style of helmets the decal placement is often based on the rivet and not the vent. Kelly Hicks's book SS Steel shows a reversed runic decal in a similar low position on page 81.

As a professional designer I can tell you these two decals are pieces of art. Shapes, colors, everything nothing but Simple and Beautifull !
