Nice photo Estonian. Good assortment of M51s & M36s helmets. Never a dull moment with the Bulgarian helmets. The M51s were also exported to delinquent (isolated) countries & rebel groups in Africa, but that is another story

The last unusual thing is this stamping.
Some kind of Industrial Socialist Worker's symbol?
Here is similar & better image of that liner stamping. The industrial wheel stamping is not seen often on Bulgarian liners. Inside that wheel are 2 Cyrillic letters. Could be KK.

I don't know the meaning of it for now. To be honest not to much is known on the M51/72 helmet's family, the details from their history may have been lost in time.
