Item Description
Original Items: Only One Lot of 6 Available. This is a very nice collection of helmets from various time periods and countries. All helmets are complete with liners and are offered in great condition. This is a wonderful lot to pick up if you are looking to either start collecting helmets or are just wanting to add these really nice examples to your already existing ones.
The following 6 helmets are included in this lot:
- Belgian M1 Helmet With Liner: The M1 helmet is a combat helmet that was used by the U.S. military from World War II until 1985, when it was succeeded by the PASGT helmet. The M1 helmet has become an icon of the US military, with its design inspiring other militaries around the world. Belgium used Used Ulbrichts-made M1 helmets.
- WWII German M34 Square Dip Aluminum Helmet With Fake Decals: The helmet is worn but does have much of the original paint and markings present. The liner and chinstrap are extremely worn and rotted in places, but still present.
- Italian M33 Helmet: The M33 Helmet (Elmetto Mod. 33 in Italian) is a steel combat helmet designed in the 1930s in Italy, and was the standard combat helmet of the Regio Esercito up to World War II, and of the Esercito Italiano well into the Cold War. This helmet is more than likely a post war arsenal refurbished helmet and was put into storage.
- Czechoslovakian M53 Helmet: The Czechoslovakian M53 helmet (Czech: Přilba vz. 53) was used by the Czechoslovak Army from the early 1950s onward. In western European countries and the United States, it is sometimes referred to as the Czech M53 helmet. These helmets are commonly mistaken for, and sometimes marketed as, Soviet SSh-40 helmets, and various other very similar Eastern Bloc helmets. The Vz. 53 incorporates designs from a variety of different countries, specifically Germany and the USSR. The shape of the shell is an exact copy of the Soviet SSh-39 and SSh-40 shell, and a very small percentage of helmets are actually SSh-40's refitted with the Vz. 53's leather liner. These are the original helmets sent to Czechoslovakia by the USSR in the early 1950s as a way to support their renewed military. The leather liner is a copy of the German Stahlhelm's, which is a good way to tell it apart from other similar Eastern Bloc helmets.
- Unidentified Polish style Helmet: Helmet is in great condition
- Danish Telehjelm Helicopter Pilot Helmet: The helmet is in great, slightly used condition with all components appearing to be present.
All helmets come more than ready for further research and display.
