Insignia worn on helmets of the National Socialist German Workers Party (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei-NSDAP) consists of a previously undocumented political style eagle on a black shield.  This decal is matched to a standard "second pattern" variety National Socialist Party shield decal of the kind most often encountered on some police helmets.  Helmets bearing this insignia are considered quite scarce¹. 

¹ Collectors should note that helmets bearing NSDAP decal insignia are few in number.  While no current reproductions exist, it is only a matter of time before fake examples surface to confuse the collecting market.
