    Default M40 Something or Another

    I vaguely remember these helmets from when I was hot and heavy into it. I don't even remember if they are German or not.

    But it has slipped me..

    I'm sure some of you fine folks will know right off.... Someone care to jog my memory.

    Isn't this a BGS helmet? Judging this by the fat vents...

    It's a finnish reissued M40/55 evident by the red dyed liner, rolled rim, and stamped vents.

    That's right! The BGS... now I remember... The funky rolled edges... I knew the liner and chinstrap were not right for that lid but looked to be original WWII.

    Thanks! sometimes you just gotta kick it to get the gyros going...

    The visors on many of those W. German M40 helmets are a bit shorter than on WWII issue.
