As I have a Feuerwehr-HJ helmet on the sale page of WAF and because not all of you, guys, did know the existance of such a helmet, let me show you a few pictures.

First an original picture !... and I noticed a few years ago that there are 2 different designs of the insignia. My helmet (see pictures) is the other one, more "squared" in the border.

This is my helmet. On WAF there are collectors who don't like it... I do ! The reason I want to sell it is that I now only collect insignias.

you don't always get the answer you want over there, but it is a rare helmet AND common reproed decals are out there right now. Nice pictures though they do prove a point

Those photos are interesting. What is the patch directly below the Gebiestsdistrict trianlge?

It looks like the name of the city: Osnabrück.

A city located around 1 hour drive south from Bremen. So we are talking West / Nord West Germany. Which it matches with Nord - Nordsee (please correct me if I am wrong).

Different decals

Here are pictures, found on the net and showed also on WAF, of the 2 decal's patterns and some other helmets. First decal is the same as on the original picture and the second decal is the same as on my helmet (that I believe is original)... so, there are 2 patterns of the decal.

Of course, I don't know what, on my patchwork picture, is original and what not because, now, in 2009 sadly all that is faked !

im still not convnced with these, yes period pics show the firemans type excisted but the insignias have been so widely faked, and have still to see a period pic of a hj m42.
