Gordon Craig Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Gentlemen, A helmet that I have had for some time but I don't believe that I have ever posted it here before. These early helmets were painted a much darker colour of grey than those issued later on. They also had the tri-colour shield on the left side. The liner was very similar to the Wehrmacht M31 liner except for the manner of attachment to the helmet. Of interest to note is the way the chin strap fits around the ears and the leather pads preventing the metal parts of the chin strap from touching the face. The helmet is date to 1960 as you can see in the pictures. Regards, Gordon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
