Polish Nagant in the wild
Last week I had posted an image of a very fine c.1935 FB Radom wz.30 Nagant revolver (the Polish Nagant) and as a follow up, I thought I would post this most excellent and very steampunk image of a Polish State Police (PP) officer using a re-purposed German Stahlhelm helmet (adorned of course with a Polish Eagle) and WWI-era armor plate as well as (most likely) a wz.30.
Enjoy:

Here are two more images of Stahlhelm/armored PP officers, with a locally made ballistic sheild. The guns of choice seem to be Mauser 1910/14s.
