Hello esteemed members of WRF,
I am hoping there is someone out there who can help me with some information about this helmet. It is for sale at the moment and if it is something rare and interested then perhaps I should invest. I am not so wise about these helmets from Eastern Bloc countries, however I do own a Polish wz. 50 produced in 1953. Which is what leads me to believe this looks very similar to a wz. 50 with the chinstrap and overall shape of the helmet (minus the comb on the top). However, inside is what appears to be a wz. 31 helmet liner, where it does not have the external rivets that are similar to the Soviet Ssh-39 helmet. Instead it has the chinstrap posts placed lower, such as on the wz. 31. Could someone enlighten me on what this helmet is?
(I apologize for the low resolution pictures, they are from the sales advertisement)
