| 0493 | Fire helmet from Austria. The leather helmet is only partially made of leather. While the helmet bowl is made of leather, eye and neck shield are made of sheet metal and painted black. Both shields are connected laterally to each other. To reinforce the edge, a brass bezel is attached. The shields are sewn on to the helmet bowl. As cover of the stitching outside, a leather strap was attached. This band is typical for helmets from Austria. The wide, high and in front rounded helmet comb of brass was fixed with two cotter pins in the helmet bowl. At the front is a brass badge attached. It is from the range of Konrad Rosenbauer, Linz. There it was called emblem with Monogram F 4. It shows, on red painted background, the 4 F of the Gymnastics Association Frisch-Fromm-Fröhlich-Frei (fresh-faithful-joyful-free). The leather storm band is attached to two massive lions' heads made of nickel silver. The helmet was worn in the early 1900's. | ||||||
