SOLD

Original German 1ST PATTERN NSKK CRASH HELMET. (Sturzhelm) EAGLE  Certified. The development of the NSKK, National Sozialistisches Kraftfahr Korps, (National Socialist Motor Corps), can be traced back to 1923 when the SA introduced a Kraftfahr Abteilung, (Motor Section), to transport personnel as required. In 1928 the SA Motor section was expanded to Kraftfahrstaffeln, (Motor Squadrons). In an attempt to create a national motor corps the NSAK, National Sozialistisches Automobil Korps, (National Socialist Automobile Corps), was formed in April 1930 as a NSDAP auxiliary organization subordinate to the SA. In early 1931 Adolf Hühnlein was appointed as Chief of the NSAK and proposed a name change to NSKK, which was officially accepted in April 1931. The NSKK was formally formed in April 1931, and adopted the crash helmet that had been worn by the Motor-SA units as early as 1928. The only modification to the helmet was the insignia used.  A 1st pattern NSKK stylized national eagle.  Very nice with all pongs intact RZM marked.  In good but used condition  Gettysburg Museum Certified (COA) provided.
