Dear austromunga, I had some hard time till May but finally having now time for our hobby. The liner you are looking for from RM is grey (not green) and has no markings inside the plastic shell (like...

Hello James,

thank you very much for your additional pictures! It`s a nice Haeren (army) example! I like it. I think the company who produced the liners was danske plast. Here we see a danish...

Hello autromunga,

Congratulations! :) I like them! Very cool post!! Thank you for sharing this! I have also one or two MP helmets in my collection. I am not sure if I have a yellow or a white...

Hi James,

how does the liner look like? And what type of stamp does it has on the straps? I could find many Haeren stamped liners. But until now I found only a few Navy and Air Force stamped...

Ocad, I made some research on this helmet and this "green stripe" color scheme was introduced in 1976. So the helmet was painted from 1976 onwards. This is quite new in my eyes. But all these helmets...

And this is the argentinian helmet:

The crossed rifles on the liner tell me this was still in use after the falkland war. The buttstock is the one of the...

Besides, I found the auction with the composite helmet I was talking about:

Good idea! I will try it.

Meanwhile I would like to show you something I discovered after unpacking it. I bought this red cross helmet band (above) and thought it is either danish or austrian for...

Finally two pictures from the inside.

During the "silver phase" it belonged to, what I think was an austrian soldier. His name was presumably "Erhard Pichler".
There is also a sign inside the...

As already mentioned the liner is the interesting part of the helmet set:

The liner is a late ww2 MSA liner.

In one of the helmet books I red about austrian motorcycle dispatcher helmets....

Hello everybody,

I would like to show you a helmet liner which I believe was used within the early austrian forces.

It came together with an austrian steel helmet. Unfortunately the makers mark...

Hello Ocad,

nice to hear from you! I think so. They were surely added at a stage when this helmet was no longer in military use. And you`re right the price refers to nothing. Especially on...

Hi Ocad,

I was thinking of your last post why you thought this helmet was used by the Air Force. It`s because of the stickers, right?
These stickers are simply advertising for the austrian...

Is there an edit function for posts? I cant find it.

Hi Ocad,

Three years ago another helmet like this was sold on Ebay. But it was the grey plastic version of the austrian liner.
Painted almost in the same color scheme.
Ocad, this has nothing to...

Hello Roland,

nice to see you are also on this forum.

Many Greetings

And last not least! Remember the dutch UN M1 Helmet cover!! I was searching for years! They were all sold to a military trader to the USA. Brand new stuff. Never used! And this trader refused to sell...

The funny thing is that helmets which are considered of most of the collectors to be really worthless are now quite hard to find. Sometimes you can not find them at all. I think for example of some...

Some time ago a Gun shop in Bavaria sold helmets from Austrian Zoll Wache. He bought a whole lot of them. They were equipped with the early M57 liner. Together with the leather chin strap made from...

Hi Austromunga,

I wanted to say Hello to you. As I am also a Militaria collector who has a deep interest in post war austrian helmets. Unfortunately in Germany they are hard to find.

Many...
