Rural Police Officer Shako by Erel

German WWII > Headgear > Helmets > Shako

Beautiful private purchase rural Police Officer Shako. This is a very nicely conditioned piece that has a near perfect interior with the usual satin lining, (with a few small holes) that has an open seam in the center and is neatly pleated at the sides. The inside is marked Erel with a great decal. I see no size marking. The leather sweatband is in neat perfect shape. This appears to have only light wear.. The front and back visors are in fine condition retaining all their stitching. The body of the exterior is bright and the eagle has some of the original frosting still intact, as do the chin scales. Comes complete with the officer's bullion cockade. There are no moth nips to the green body. The upper part of the helmet, the brown top, shows some minor crazing, which is usual for these helmets.
