M 40 Is it real?
Dear Members
Been a member in here for a while.Haven't posted on it anything yet though.Well, here's the first one.Could you tell me if this helmet, that I found on the internet, worth attention?Not sure if it's M35 or M40. Painted in green, couple of rivets are replaced with a shinny ones.That's all the pictures I could get.Thanksin advance.

This is a Finnish M35, produced by Hungary. It is a nice helmet.
Regards, Corey

Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader

If you collect helmets of all countries, this is a nice helmet. But if you want a German WWII helmet, this is not one.

This is a Hungarian M38 helmet that has been used by the Finnish army
Re: M 40 Is it real?
looks post war liner finnish helmet should have a dr or dm stamped in the skert. these were bought from hungary and refurb for the finnish army. finnish m35 somtimes called. or hungary m38. the rivets are a giveaway to say its finnish.
Re: M 40 Is it real?
Yup, +1. The rivet placement is certainly the first thing to look for with these.
