Anyone know what this helmet is?

[afv_rob]

Hi
I bought this helmet years ago because I just wanted something that looked like a German helmet, it was pretty cheap so I guessed it was some sort of fake. Im just a bit unsure as to what it is, it doesnt look fake becuase whoever faked it hasnt made any attempt to make the liner look remotely German. I was told somewhere that it might be a Condor legion helmet???? Anyway just wondering if anyone knows what it might be, or if its just a poor fake?

Cheers
Rob

Model Z

As Matt pointed out, it is a Spanish Model Z, also sometimes referred to as a Spanish M42. It has a late type liner, from the 1970's or so. It's an interesting thing and a nice item to have, particularly if you're collecting German style helmets. A lot of these ended up with fake Nazi decals, so it's good to have one in its original state.

Here's a photo of a Model Z from my collection displayed with an eagle badge.
