Description: Fire helmet from the GDR. Unused chrome helmet without visor, in use at the time of the fall of the Wall. At the end of the 1970s, VEB Plasterarbeitung in Staaken developed the bell for a new fire helmet made of plastic, which was then assembled into a fire helmet by VEB Perfect (formerly the Lubstein company). This helmet also received a vapor-deposited chrome layer, which should reflect around 90% of the heat that occurs. The helmet was initially tested by some professional fire departments at the beginning of the 1980s and was then used by professional fire departments. There were neck leathers of different lengths. In addition to short ones for machinists, there were also large ones for fire fighting teams. As part of the further development, the helmet should also be given to the voluntary brigades. The inner helmet bears the imprint "NVA". It is taken over from the NVA steel helmet M56. The similarity of the shape to the Russian fire helmets with spherical visors is unmistakable. Also listing other East German Fire Brigade items, helmets, respirators, gloves, belts etc etc. The description above is translated from German.
