Everything identical to the dutch one but the romanian plate.

[Alex Stefanut]

IMO a good Romanian piece. Color is right for this type of helmet.

I've studied the Romanian helmets as best I can. Any reason uncovered as why some have the original liners and why some have the German style liner?

I have a Romanian helmet with the King Carol II crest as well, but mine has the other liner.

[marc]

Peter is it possible to put a pic of the liner,

are you refering to the m31 liner system, and did they made any modifications to install that liner?

Marc--
It is like the liner you showed. No, that helmet did not use any modifications.

[Peter_Suciu]

But I also have this helmet. There is some argument whether these were used by the Germans late in the war or the Romanians. I have spoken to one source in Romania who said he has found several examples of gray Romanian helmets:

Liner. This is a TRUE German M31 liner and it is mounted in the helmet with German split rivets.

[marc]

probably the Romanians,

Dont know of any evidence of germans (combat) earing other helemts then the standard german ones

And seems like a lot of effort to convert Dutch helmets for German use.

My feeling is that these were a possible "next" model for the Romanians using the M31 liner. From when I don't know.
