Of course if we're referring to the original M34s as supplied by the Dutch, many of them did have the Romanian "King Carol" badge welded to the front, and that actually was almost the same size as the Dutch Lion badge. A genuine one of them is quite rare, as the badges were removed after the war.)

Sorry but there is plenty of photografic evidence that shows that alot of the King Carol emblems were removed during the war. The abdication of King Carol had to do with this.

Hello, how does the sizing on these type of helmets go? I can't really see any mention of size from my searching, is it 1 cm increments like some of the eastern bloc helmets with the german inspired liners, or is it more ssh40 style where there is a few general liner sizes and you can use the buckle in the liner to try and get it close to your head size?

Hey Mark, I've got one of these inbound (probably be here in a week?), should it be worthy I'll whack it up here.
