€ 449,00
A Werkschutz helmet from World War II is a specialized steel helmet used by factory security guards (Werkschutz) in German industrial plants, factories, and air-raid protection services. These helmets were not intended for frontline combat, but rather to protect personnel from debris, fire, and shrapnel during air raids.
This item:
A rare Werkschutz helmet, as used by the D.K.W. Werke factory security. It is a re-used Feurschutz Polizei helmet (clearly recognizable by the two removed decals). It was repainted at the time and bears the D.K.W. decal, the text "Werkschutz" (Work Protection), and the wearer's personnel number on the back. The liner is still in good condition, and the chin strap is still present. The rare leather neck protector is also included, which is not often seen. A nice and rare helmet!
