Finnish used Hungarian M38

[Simonk]

This is the second of 5 helmets from my late Father-in-Law's collection of Finnish helmets.

This Hungarian M38 is identical to the one posted by easternwarfront back in 2014: "Hungarian MÁVAG64 marking has been burnished out and DM64 was stamped over the first one". What does the DM stamp refer to?

The owners initials "AK" appear in three different places. Written on the liner, scratched onto the outside shell and inside shell.

If anyone has any additional background information regarding this type of helmet then please let me know.

More to follow on the other helmets.


Sorry, but I just realised it might have been better to post this under World helmets but don't know how I can move it.
