    Thanks very much Estonian, you were able to fill gaps with your M38 & M42 helmets. All of yours Spanish helmets presented are great! This is a collective work & even if we see the same helmet many times, the better. Each is unique! The shape of the M38 "Eibar" reminds me of the Yugoslavian M59! The Eibar was produced in 1934 by the Eibar Arsenal for the new Militia called the Republic Assault Guards. It was finally issued during the war in 1938. The M38 liners and chin straps were held together with an unique rivet on top of the helmet making the shell pivoting on its own after a while, often at the worst of time! You are right about the M65 liners, the original were of better quality vanishing overtime, mine is almost slip in two from front to back! Jack

    Default Spanish leather cradle for the US M1 & M65 helmets.

    For the curious one, here is a nice example of the Spanish leather cradle used in some of the US M1s & M65 helmets.

    Quality work, only thing is the brass clips that needed
    to be bent to close or unbend to open.
    After a while those cradle were certainly very comfortable,
    like old slippers!

    Superb Spanish collection Jack you must of covered all the model types i am sure ,i still can't bring myself to add a Marte example to the collection although i am fond of the shell profile i blame those over exaggerated exterior liner rivets but maybe one day and no doubt i would most likely throw a suitable helmet cover over it anyway should i make that purchase , the liner webbing and chinstrap on these is a definite carry over from the M65 and for robustness i can see why this was the case ,thanks for sharing

    Here is my small collection of Spanish helmets to add to the thread ,i picked up the gas mask in error years ago thinking it was WW2 period GM series German mask as it looked very similar to my inexperienced eyes but turned out to be a Spanish Dräger Blanco example which i believe are hard to find in any condition and this one is still like new and complete with the original canister Spanish helmets evolution from 1921 to 1985.

    Hi James, your collection is very representative with those fine helmets. Your Italian M33 fills a gap in the Civil war period. Thanks for the nice display including the the origin of the gas mask. Jack

    Your welcome Jack and glad you are fine with my posting to your thread ,you never know sometimes if original posters of threads are happy to see other examples in case you seem to be stealing there thunder so to speak but in my case i thought i would take and chance what with my modest display being what it is which pales in significance to your superb collection but as i have learned in collecting the race is a long to collect all the model types out there so in the end we all get there to the finish line eventually but perhaps not at the same time

    My helmet collection recently expanded with such a helmet. The name has been scratched inside.

    Very nice addition to your collection Estonian. Your M26 is marked by the passage of time & is great. It as an engraved name & I may be pushing things but with the other engraving EOA, I see a kind of triangle. It reminded me of the Popular Front (opposed to the Nationalist) flag symbol.

    Picked up this very poor condition M1 in relic condition so can only think it was dredged up from the drink, going off the liner markings i am presuming it is Spanish used, the liner has a westinghouse marking and is circled in what is left of a blue colouration , unsure if the shell is American but it does have fracture lines which i know hint it just might be, the liner is stuck fast and very brittle so don't want to disturb it Spanish helmets evolution from 1921 to 1985.
