An unususal aspect of this helmet is its three-piece two-buckle chinstrap, very like, incredibly, that used on the Spanish M42-79 see here |

"There are no stamps, moulding, or any other identfication marks in this helmet. In fact there is nothing to show from whence it came or where it is used. So far nothing like it has been found, except for an Indonesian-used composite with some similarity but not identical. It has some characteristics in common with well-known SK export helmets, so has been placed here for want of any better ideas." |

probable SOUTH KOREAN - in almost every way identical to the helmet shown above, believed to be a Korean product. This one was previously featured in the 'Unknown' section.? Obtained from the Brecon militaria fair,
tagged as a 'Special Forces' helmet, which seems unlikely. There are no markings of any kind except
for a logo pressed into the crown, a sort of clock-face logo divided into
12 rectangles, which has '03' in the centre, and a tiny dot in the
second sector round from 12, which may mean February. Therefore February
2003 ? There's also a L for large (probably) and a 1, which could mean
anything.
