German miner helmet?

**levaid** · 05-09-2017, 06:14 PM

Hello Guys!

I bought this helmet last week. I tried to find a similar, but I had no success. It looks like a McDonald safety helmet, but it's german/austrian.
Could you help me to identify? It's most likely post war. Markings: CB M, Al Cu Mg F.39, DIN1725
Sorry for the wrong category!

Thank you!

No idea?

I have no idea. But not sure if you will get much feedback unfortunately as it isn't military related.

Thank you Glenn! But I don't understand. Colorado? I don't understand. It has german liner, and the DIN standard is also german.
And sorry for the non-military question.

Many, many pieces of equipment here in the US are made overseas...for the US Military as well as for Civilian Purposes...The US Army has presentation swords made in Germany, and many Fire Departments use Safety Gear made in Europe as well...
How it got to Hungary is anyone's guess...I'm always amazed at some of the odd items that find their way to the US...and into our collections, lol...
