Found this on line. The seller claims it's made of steel. Don't recall having seen anything like this before, any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

It looks like an Iraqi M80.
B.B.
Agreed. It looks Iraqi to me.
Iraqi or early Korean.
It is not made of steel, but of a synthetic material. Possibly Corlon.
This type of helmet was widely exported by Korea.
Cheers,
Emile
I'll look for info on these Iraqi and Korean helmets. Thanks for the quick replies, gents!

Emile is correct, originally SKorean product, made of Corlon; several possible makers including Daewoo and Samsung. Very widely exported, examples found in Middle East, Asia, South America. More info will be found here - Composite Helmets, Ballistic helmets, Military helmets International Guide and here World War Helmets - Casque Modele 76 (you will need to register, painless and free!)
