Bulgarian M36a

[Opex]

Hi Fellow collectors, Here's a Bulgarian M36 type A from my collection,this one does not have the original liner fitted,but the post war version, which is great from one point of view,but I have never seen one of these helmet types with the original liner, perhaps there was a major drive to replace the originals,and there's very few left???

Thanks James, yes I would have preferred this one to have the original liner,and equally minus the poor re-paint, I am tempted to strip it,to try and discover the Bulgarian decal!

Glad you like it,and thanks for looking.
