In 1918 some 2100 helmets of this type were produced in size 64 by &#8220;ET&#8221; manufacture (Eisen-und Huttenwerke, AG Thale\/Harz). A total of 100000 helmets were produced before the end of WW1, had it not been for the armistice signed in November 1918 this helmet might have been the next version scheduled for issue to all front line troops. Like many transitional helmets, some were stored and subsequently repainted and then reissued to Wehrmacht troops in 1940.<\/p>\n<p>DESCRIPTION: Impressive transitional M 1918 Cavalry helmet (Stahlhelm M18 Kavallerie), with rough textured grey-green paint with double decals reissued for the &#8220;Feldgendarmerie&#8221;, both insignia of the first type adopted in July 1936 perfect. It comes with the M31 harness marked with the size 57 on the inside and its chinstrap. On the faintly marked side you can still see the manufacture &#8220;ET64&#8221;, belonging to &#8220;Eisen-und Huttenwerke, AG Thale\/Harz&#8221;. It is considered rare due to the limited number produced. Very rare and even rarer for the Feldgendarmerie.<\/p>\n<p>Note.- We have acquired a small collection of WW2 German headgear and helmets from one of the best collections in Europe with over 400 pieces of all types, the owner was a co-author of specialist books, and many of his helmets and caps, no longer on the market today, were used to illustrate them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":31745,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[263,284],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-37631","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-german-helmets-ww2","7":"product_cat-special-items","8":"sales-flash-overlay","9":"woocommerce-text-align-center","10":"woocommerce-image-align-center","11":"do-quantity-buttons","13":"first","14":"instock","15":"purchasable","16":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/original-militaria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/37631","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/original-militaria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/original-militaria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/original-militaria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/31745"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/original-militaria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37631"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/original-militaria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=37631"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/original-militaria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=37631"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/original-militaria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=37631"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
