Greg Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Hi Andy, They are swiss M18/40 combat helmet. They were first issues round about the end of WWI and continued in issue through the cold war. A 1971 model replaced them. They would have a cotton cover over them usually in swiss camo pattern with button holes to place leaf and vegitation in for camo. Some helmet covers also had a face veil in mesh and or cover for the back of the neck in camo cloth. Fairly common item, well made though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
