Swiss ! - Vegar has me corrected.............!
These are available today as surplus. I purchased one recently,
as they are cheap enough ($20) and very well designed.

Actually, it is a Swiss M18 helmet...

Looking for militaria from HKB 31./977, HKB 32./977, HKB 38./977 or militaria related to Norway
Vegar is right. This is a Swiss helmet. Model 18/40 most likely. Worn into the seventies. Look at Joseba's indispensable site!
SUIZO 18-40-2

Is the Suisse more collectable than the Svensk?
I think not. Both are a dime a dozen, I am afraid.
Great! I'll take 12 dozen!
I think every helmet collector should have one of these in their collection, it's a high quality european steel helmet, made just as good as the early WWII German helmets.
it's an interesting helmet and displays very nicely, I added a Swiss camo cover and it looks nice displayed with my Swiss bayonet and Luger.
