    ive had this helmet for a few years picked it up off a carboot sale but i havent got a clue what it is or where its from does anyone here know what it is. its made from fibre very similar to what the american ww2 liners were made from and has a paper lable inside which reads,
    CASCA PROTECTIE
    TIP P.C.I
    N.I.2996-64
    and what looks like a date stamp 1965
    also you can see the outline of a badge on the front (looks like a flameing grenade)
    any help is most welcome

    Hello Lee,

    Casca is Romanian for helmet.

    I have seen these before. Romanian post war Fire Brigade to my mind.

    Cheers,
