Hey guys,
Picked up this M26 today, along with some other stuff......as you do.
What does the 72 stand for?
Year or size?
I can see why these are used as Japanese helmets in movies.
This one fits me well.
Cheers

It is a later civil defense reissue and 72 is a size i believe
Thanks mate.
Civil defence...
How late would say?
50's? - 60's?
Were they original shells and then had the insides changed for reissue?
Cheers.
My other Swedish Helmet.
Can't remember details about it.
Has soldiers name carved into it.
Nice Swedish lid. They're very affordable and both of
these are great additions to any helmet collection
- though the second helmet you show is from
a different country - it's a Swiss M18.........
Regards,
Steve.
Cheers mate!
I need to take better photos of it.
Info deleted.
sorry guys. You are right. Pays to read before posting.
Helmet info was for Swiss not Swedish.
In my haste I copied the wrong blurb.
What I wanted to show was 6 types of shells.
slight differences..
