Hi Nick,

The liner appears to be a Czech M-53 liner.

Regards, Ned.

Do you think its a russian helmet reissued into the czech army? - nick k

Hi Nick, it is pure Czech. Therse are still fairly common and cheap to buy. But are still good original helmets.

Cheers, Ade.

czech m53.. but it´s an older version (maybe 50's), because of the leather chinstraps, the last and more modern version of this helmet had Y shaped green chinstraps, i think made out of nylon.. I jut got the same as yours and it´s cool, part of cold war history...
