I've found it while looking for early 1950s era JNA pictures. I thought it's same thing as Fallschirmjäger Stahlhelm in WW2. But after I searched the details, I've thought it's not a same thing. As you see, you can find the front of this helmet is more sticking out than the Fallschirmjäger Stahlhelm. I think it's mixed with Fallschirmjäger Stahlhelm and German M16 Stahlhelm. I've searched about this thing for 1 hour, but I couldn't find it. If someone know about this helmet. Please leave the comment on my thread. Thanks for read.

This is a cut-down German M40. After the war the Yugoslavs converted a number of German helmets to this configuration. I believe they are very rare!

Nice piece!
