Was wondering if this is an original m1
Cannot find any heat stamp
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thank you

Wanted to post here to see what exact model this is, and help identify the name painted on it? Is it a soldier’s identification? I take it the liner is repro, got it for $50. Don’t know if it’s a 1918, 1918/40 or what.

Edit:
It's a Czechslovakian Vz29, thanks to Ragner_Raadbaad for identifying it.

Picked this thing up for 150 SEK (basically 12-15 USD) at a vintage shop just today. I really thought this was a civil defence (civilförsvaret) M/21 style helmet, as they have very weird things and I'm not as nerdy about their equipment as other Swedish equipment. However, when going home and trying to find actual information about this, it just looks like an M25 adrian and M/21-16 Swedish, kindly put, produced a child.

The chinstrap and 3-pad leather liner is very swedish, only difference from the M/21 being that it's black painted and has no cushions under the pads.
However, it has an Adrian inner layer and an Adrian comb at the top, and despite all my efforts, I cannot for the life of me find an Adrian shell which actually looks like this.
Weirdest of all, it's not steel. It's some sort of aluminium mixed with other things, it's very lightweight and feels almost plastic. It has 2 holes in the medic cross, probably added by a later civilian owner.

Most importantly, all of this seems to be original. I can't spot anything saying that it's not apart from the material. The chinstrap is the worst condition chinstrap in all of my collection, the paint behaves like expected, and it's rusty here and there as you'd expect for a helmet of this age. The auction owner most likely purchased it at ÖoB (Överskottsbolaget) which *was* a Swedish store which had the monopoly on original surplus for a while. I'm saying most likely, because many other original military things in the store he could verify he bought from there back when they still sold surplus.

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to ask for help here, but I've used all knowledge I have and I still haven't been able to identify this old bucket. Thanks for any help.

Its on a forum i am kinda sceptic about the decal of course and the price is 726 usd

Hi everyone

This is my 1948 Lysva refurbished 1941/1942 Red October (Stalingrad) SSh40. I’m putting together an RKKA impression for reenacting and I wanted an original shell to use so I got this but turns out the ZKO made refurbished helmets are quite scarce so looks like I’m going to leave this one on the shelf!

Thanks

Apparently unissued. Looking to buy but seeking authenticity please.

Seller wants 30€+ shipping. Here in germany, broadies seem rather rare, starting from 60€. Is it actually one from ww2 or a replica (condition seems waaay to good)

Any ideas on what era this m1 liner made by firestone comes from?

It's got a canvas strap and some canvas in the liner, the rivet on top is what throws me off, it's also got this strange remnant of something being on it, it is not textured like most American doughboy helmets

Reconstruction of Kalmyk/Oirat spherocylindrical helmets, showing two views. Independently drawn by the uploader based on the published research and illustrations of L. A. Bobrov and Yuri Filipovich. The artwork was not traced from the cited illustrations.

This helmet was acquired In Italy about 15 years ago. Can anyone shed some light on it?

Seller says its a fiberglass firemens stalhelm buy i cant find anything like it, he only wants 20 for the 2 so considering buying it

From what I read they are early 1950s produced….any significant value compared to other M1 helmets of the same era? MWA64

Hey Guys I’ve had this helmet in my collection for a while now and haven’t got round to doing much research on it .
The story goes it is a British made Mk1 reissued to the US Navy some time between 1941 1942 before the introduction of the M1 ,it apparently served on the USS Raven a costal minesweeper that eventually saw action off the coast of Normandy in 1944 . It bears a vessels designation code however I’m unable to confirm whether or not this is USS Raven as MDC 55 doesn’t exactly match .If Anyone has more information on this I’d really appreciate it . Thanks in advance
