DD Civic Police Helmet - Opinions Needed

[Scott R.]

I just got this Helmet on Saturday from The son of a vet that Passes away last year.
I believe it is for the "Ordnungspolizie" or "Gendarmerie (Rural Police)" but not exactly sure. From my limited collecting experience, I believe it to be OK as far as the decals, etc..
But would love some feedback from the experts.
Thanks,
Scott

It looks like a textbook m34 civic police helmet to me, good score..

Nice liner too! Very cool coming from a vet.

Thanks Guys,
This is my first civic helmet, so wasn't as familiar with it as I am with the Combat Helmets. The liner system is different, although seems to be made more for comfort and I really haven't handled many of them, since I allways go straight fot the M35's at shows.
The Vet that owned it was conscripted into the German army in Berlin at age 16 and later went AWOL and hid out with the Lutheran Church when the Russians came to town.
Then he moved to the US and fought in Korea. His son had lots of interesting stories to tell. He also has his Dad's uniform, but he is keeping that.
The Helmet was part of a large collection.
