Very nice example and price ,I think I paid about £20 for an M-50, and I agree with your comment about them being pure cold-war history,thanks for sharing!!

Re: Post-war Hungarian helmet...I think.
UPDATE:
the Hungarian M50 helmet arrived today...
I wish I had a good camera - sorry - only these pics:
markings:
- some unreadable ink stamp on one of the "cushins"
- a large number inkstamped: "3" - see pic. 3.
- a small inkstamped: "MEQ40" - see pic. 4. (well, it's blurred a bit)
- embossed in the helmet: "B26" (unless it's 326 or 826) - see pic. 5.
overall, I'm happy with it...best 10 dollars ever spent.
cheers,
Fabe
Re: Post-war Hungarian helmet...I think.
Terrific value, Fabe! Is it a large size shell, do you think? If so, the number '3' may indicate size - I think there may have been 4 sizes altogether. Best Regards,
Re: Post-war Hungarian helmet...I think.
Correction, there were 5 sizes according to World War Helmets (.: World War Helmets - Casque Modèle 50 :.). And the '3' is the size! So, medium-ish. Best Regards,
