Hello,

Can somebody please help me identifying this helmet?
Is it produced for use in Czechoslavakia or Spain ? And what about the chinstrap, is this one good ?

Thanks!

Hello Galaxy,

This is indeed a Czech helmet. It is the Vz 29 (note the seven hole ventilators). This helmet was produced for Civil Defense use and has no connection to Spain. The chinstrap looks like a M53 strap. That might be perfectly all right for this helmet, that was also used by CD in the post war era.

The Vz30 was a helmet that was exported to Spain and other countries in the pre war years. The M30 is highly recognizable by the "horns" that were applied to it.

Nice helmet.

Cheers,
Emile
