You are probably right, I just see people calling them paratrooper helmets. lol

Re: Need help identifying a helmet
Indeed - not Paratrooper. These are being sold as surplus along
with the older types of Swiss helmets from the 50's and 60's.
Don't pay much if you are interested in taking it home.........

Re: Need help identifying a helmet
I was more interested in it because I had never seen one. My father and I collect WW2 U.S. and Japanese (with a few German pieces) militaria. They was $39.00 (US) for it. Think I will let it go. Thanks again guys.
