Greek M1934/39 Helmet
€ 35,00
A scarce WW2 Greek M1934/39 steel combat helmet
The M1934/39 was initially produced and tested in Italy as a possible replacement for the Italian military's Adrian helmets. The helmet did not meet their standards however, and they were sold to Greece as bare shells just before the outbreak of World War II. Once the Greeks received the M1934/39's they painted them green and added their own liners and chinstrap. After the cessation of hostilities in 1945, these same helmets were re-issued and fitted with replaced British-style liners so to find example in original ‘untouched’ condition is rare.
No liner and chinstrap.
