M38 helmet

[Finnlander]

I found this helmet from Estonia.

Ww2 Finnish issued DR66. Liner size seems to be 59/60, propably leaning towards latter. I believe it to be 100% original Finnish issue, except for the paintjob, which I believe to be Finnish army postwar repaint.

What makes it interesting is the parts. It has ww2 german liner attached and hungarian chinstrap.

Nice DR helmet, congrats! Yes, chinstrap and D-rings is hungarian production, rivets and liner have been replaced. Very interesting to see a german M31 liner in it, I have a very identical example in my collection too. Sometimes it's very difficult to differentiate war time and post war modifications on finnish helmets like this.

Hi Finnlander!

Here is your helmet's twin from my collection. DR66 with german liner too.

Great to see another one! Long lost twins.
