A note from Mats
Rundqvist -
"Here's a note on the Swedish M90. The
second version's shell is not "virtually identical" but
exactly identical, because the second version is the relined first
version.
For us collectors that means that M90s with liner 1
will be much rarer than those with liner 2. All M90s with liner
1 that could be found were upgraded with liner 2.
Oh, and here's another note. The shape of the
shell of the M90 is identical for sizes M and L. Size S, though,
is a bit different: it has a different liner, and the helmet is
not made in the UK but in Norway. I have never seen one of these
myself and have not found any photos. The only information I have
is from a Swedish fan site for the Swedish Armed Forces.
According
to another source (The Military Historical Society of the province
Småland), there are now only two sizes of M90, M and L."
