the second helmet might be Bulgarian M51 - Italian helmets had rivets with a hole.
You can still find brand new para helmets - Polish and East German issue for $100

I'm not sure about the grommets actually, I have looked a few around the forum just now and can't say one way or the other. I must admit these are a bit outside of my field. It seems the shape of the chinstrap bales and the stitching in the leather are important too.
Thanks for all the info guys, regardless of what they are i still think £20 is a decent price, am i right?
Fab, thanks
they both appear to be Polish, the first one is the Wz63 and the second is the Wz50
I would consider these battlefield relic condition, they might be from Iraq
your helmets look like they might have came from these left over helmets used in the Iran Iraq war
they have the look of long term storage somewhere in the deserts of the middle east
maybe from this warehouse?
Jesus Christ! I have messaged the woman asking where they came from!
WOW! Interesting idea of storage. They do look in similar condition though.
