German M38 Luftschutz 'Gladiator' style three-piece helmet. Complete with liner and chinstrap. The helmet shows very little wear, with almost all of the original dark blue finish present with typical, albeit minor, edge wear to the paint. The Luftschutz winged swastika is mainly preserved. The interior of the helmet is in excellent condition. The civil-type liner shows almost no wear and is in excellent condition. Still has the liner stamp, indicating the size of the helmet – 56. The liner string is also present, which is rare. The black leather chin strap, also often missing, is still in place and complete. The rear inner skirt is stamped RL2-39-42, which indicates that it was manufactured by Gustav Rudolph Stanz-, Preß- und Ziehwerk of Bernsbach / Erzgebirge. The original white paint stamp on the rear skirt confirms that the helmet meets Luftschutz regulations. Also, the helmet size is shown on the decal as '56', and the highest authorized sale price of the helmet is indicated as 8 Reichsmarks.
The Luftshutz helmets were worn by air raid wardens and teams, tasked with extinguishing fires and rescuing survivors after the air raids.
