"No marking of any kind in the helmet, however there is some residual blue paint which may indicate it had been used on a UN mission and then returned to normal daily use." |
"Liner is very similar to that used on this Austrian-made helmet trialled by the Netherlands." |
VePlas helmet - known in Slovak service as
ASR 97 |

A cloth cover appears to have been fixed on using the liner bolts - the same characteristic appears on the other example shown below. The covers seem to have been torn off rather than carefully removed. |
This does not appear to be a well-made product - the ribber rims of the shells are not completely secure as is obvious with this one. |
Note the Slovak cross of Lorraine on this example. |
The model number 'PASR 3' appears to be written on with ball-pen
rather than printed. |
Another example, in rather better condition. |
