"This helmet was brand new, had no usage, and there was also a users manual with it and a 2010 cover in plastic . What is different about this helmet than the other ones I have is : It has hexagon bolts It has no 'Induyco' moulding in the liner cradle It has markings on one side - R 3/13, and a BO number 87213106611. It has an Induyco MVD stamp which is normal - LOT M 06/96." |

SCHUBERTH 826 - early test/experimental version |
|
|
"The man that I bought this from told me there was a test with these helmets middle of the 90s with the LMB (Dutch air mobile brigade) . He told me also that the helmets are marked on the inside with a number that doesn't go above number 150 , indicating there where only 150 in test use at that time. The Helmet is identical to the Dutch Schubert UN helmet only it's green and there is a Schubert Stamp in there with no Gr or other number - only says Schuberth GMBH . |

Austrian-made experimental/test helmet for Netherlands forces - 1 |
|
|
"This unusual object is actually an Austrian design (made of a Dynameena composite) tested by the Dutch in the 1990s." |
Notice how the top layer has begun to shale off. 'Delamination' in compo-speak. |
|

|
The interior is clearly unfinished. Liner very similar to Austrian Stahlhelm 1. |

Canadian collector Roger Lucy has supplied some useful knowledge about this helmet - can anyone add anything further? - "Marzetti Third Edition 7.26 actually shows two separate helmets. The exterior shot shows a steel clad Dyneema helmet, its interior, however, has the leather suspension and the chin-strap of the Austrian Helm 2 (M.75). It has label in German "VERBUNDHELM mit 18 Lagen Dyneema Gewebe innen und mit OBH Innenausstattung" under which roughly translates as" Composite Helmet, with 18 layers of Dyneema weave inside and with the Austrian Army liner" It also has a Canadian Forces property tag marked "Austrian metallic airborne helmet X90-2403" The interior shot is of another helmet same shape and made only of composite, its only marking is X90-2402 - as the picture in 7.26 shows it has a Riddel type suspension but a standard Austrian chin-strap. Both these helmets were discarded (and rescued), when the Canadian Forces Land Engineering and Test establishment closed down. Their serial numbers show they were acquired by LETE for test and evaluation in 1990. Obviously Austria adopted neither design, instead buying a version of the Gallet TC-3. The helmet in 56.2 is exactly the same as number 1 here, it is fact made only of a woven composite (not steel-clad) which like numner 1 has not been painted over inside, and has an Austrian M.75 type lining and a 3 point chin-strap with a Dutch catch. As we know the type was not adopted by the Netherlands which opted for the Schuberth 826. My guess is the helmet was made in Austria, given its liner and its similarity to the two 1990 Austrian trials helmets (same shape, even the same paint) , but I have nothing more concrete to go on." |

"This helmet was used in the early nineties
as an experiment, by the Royal Netherlands Marine Corps. Since the
RNLMC and the UK Marines do train together and are cooperating on
a regular base, the Dutch MoD decided to see whether the British
helmet might be suitable. It was rejected. VINCENT IVENS points out - "It says in the text that it was used in 1991, but it has a second type M95 Cover witch was issued in 1996." . |
