What’s up w these helmets?

[fader107]

are my eyes playing tricks on me?

Looks to be Hungarian M38 style helmet. Is that a real photo or from a movie?

[fader107]

A movie. That could be it.

I grabbed it from the web.

[Kesselberg]

Hungarian M38 for sure. The rivets and attachment piece on the rear to attach the helmet to a belt.

It looks like someone has colorized the image which would pretty much rule out it coming from a movie. Very cool photo. I think it's a real photo from the WW2 era.

Nice M38. Original WW2s with original liners and paint are great.

[Gene]

Hungarian helmet but possibly Finnish soldiers?

[RonR]

Gene,


Perhaps so.

The above two helmets that I pictured are Finnish helmets made in Hungary by Datieren MÁVAG and Datieren Rába.


Best regards,

Yes Finnish soldiers, therefore the swastika painted on the helmet.

[Kesselberg]

Yea the rivets on the m38 with the red background is Finnish.

[fader107]

Off course Ron has two !!

Last question - what weapon are they operating ?

[RonR]

Yea the rivets on the m38 with the red background is Finnish.

John, as you know both are Finnish.


This one is produced in Hungary for Finnland by Datieren Rába as indicated by the stamping DR 68...........
