M-58 (M1) Norway

[Reibert]

Hi,
I would like to show you a "textbook" M-58 (M1) of the Norwegian army with some detailed pictures, which I received a few days ago.

This Norwegian M58 shows various signs of storage and wear, but overall the helmet is still in collectible condition.
At EUR 25.00 (GBP 21.39 / USD 26.83) including shipping costs, the helmet wasn't really that expensive either.

The shell was manufactured in Austria by Ulbricht's Witwe, Schwanenstadt for Norway.

Here is the closure of the chin strap.
I wouldn't be surprised if the little "safety hook" got lost after just a few combat exercises! ...

But even without this “safety” the chin strap can be hooked in.

I found a Norwegian M58 helmet today in a pile of Danish surplus M48 helmets. Curiously enough it has a M74 chinstrap which I haven't seen on a Norwegian helmet before.
