Hungarian Fire Brigade Anti Aircraft Defence M.1935/38 steel helmet

[Bil4338]

Here's my latest acquisition, as described above.it appears to have received several layers of paint over the years, and a more modern and simpler chinstrap than the double Y sprung types it originally had...these were prone to fraying and breaking with use and aren't commonly found.

Thats a pretty rare helmet Bil, I,ve only seen one other at I think Bedford Arms fair, quite a few years ago, but it was described wrongly as a Finnish helmet.Yours is a nice example, congrats

Cheers folks...yep, only ever seen one in the flesh, around 25 yrs ago, and uncommon then too.a pity it has a replaced chinstrap, but beggars cant be choosers!
