Looks like a Chinese GK but slightly different. Liner is exactly the same. Should give you enough to pin it down exactly.
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

Yugoslavia, called either an NE-44 or a M59, depending on who you believe. I think M59 is more correct but I could be wrong. This one is in original Yugoslav Army finish - they were used up until quite recently, including in the Balkan Wars of the 1990s, but usually with the red star removed or covered by a different badge. There is a second version, the M59/85, which is very similar - slight change in shell profile - with the main different being that the liner is held with romovable A-clips.

The asking price was 120 I don't know if that was a good price of not. It's not my collecting field.

Wow, that's a lot! Even if you mean dollars rather than UKpounds. Lots of these have come onto the surplus market in the last few years. That is far too much. If you wanted one you will find one much cheaper. Just look for Yugoslav or Yugoslavian helmet on ebay or the web generally.
I'm quite fond of these myself and own a couple but that price sounds way to high
Have not had time to research, I'm on the road traveling home. My son, sitting next to me is the one doing all the typing. I just saw the helmet and thought it was interesting, it's not my collecting field, but my good feeling told me the price was to high. Thank you for all the fast responds.
