    Default 4 New helmets used in Finland

    2x The Finn M40, commonly referred to as the Wartsila was copied from the Swedish M37, was produced under licence at Wartsila Oy and Kone-ja Silta. Nearly 67,000 were manufactured during WWII.

    1x The Model 1938 Hungarian helmet was one of the most common types used by the Finnish Army during the Continuation War of 1941-44. The Finns originally wanted to acquire the German M35 during the Winter War of 1939-40 to supplement their old stock of German WWI M17 & M18 helmets however, the German government refused the order and sent it to the Hungarians instead.

    1x Swedish M1926 Sweden would provide Finland with this model helmet as aid during their conflict with the Soviet Union

    That m/38 looks more like "Hungarian-Hungarian" helmet than "Finnish order Hungarian" helmet.

    Helmet inner side color looks Blue-ish, or that helmet was dipped in too strong oxalic axid and lost it's Forest-Green color. The color is clearly faded, than what it should be.

    That Finnish painted Swedish helmet is good, rare find. I think Finns had only 8000 M/26 helmets.
