What is this Swedish helmet?

Hi,

What is it (model etc.)? How old is it?
I got it as a present from my neighbour; he has a vague notion as for where it came from. What is its age? (presume it is contemporary).

Hello Mat,

Don't have my books with me right now, but I believe it is called a model 37 (1937) modified in the 1960-1970's which was used up until very recently. Finland also used these and may have manufactured these also.

Regards,

Lee
