In silvered tombac, enameled, Ges. Gesch; The Stahlhelm, Bund der Frontsoldaten was one of the many paramilitary organizations that arose after the end of World War I in the Weimar Repub-lic. The Stahlhelm was founded at the end of 1918 partly by Franz Seldte in the city of Magdeburg. Its periodical, Stahlhelm, was edited by Count Hans-Jürgen von Blumenthal who was later hanged for his part in the failed attempt to kill Adolf Hitler on July 20, 1944.

In 1934 the Stahlhelm was renamed Nationalsozialistischer Deutscher Front-kämpferbund (N.S.D.F.B. or Federation of the National Socialist Frontline-Fighters) and integrated into the Sturmabteilung (SA), in 1935 the organi-zation was completely dissolved by the Nazis.
