"Identical design & manufacture as the M89 army version. Blue-nylon liner variation exists as well.Issued in dark blue/green, with red star in front (later covered by Serbian tricolor police insignia).

This helmet saw mostly use in Serbia & Montenegro, I've never seen these in use in other republics.

No manufacturer label or stamps nowhere, and I've handled 20 of these in a warehouse, not one of them has markings, only the green army ones seem to have the " Hadzici" manufacturer stamp in the dome ."

"PC99 model Para helmet used by 36th Airborne Division based at Nis. Green fibre glass shell with white cotton Riddell-esque liner and grey/green leather ear-covers / neck-guard. 
Red star emblem evident (but not prominent) to the front.
Green leather sweatband and white cotton Y straps - a separate chin cup/strap was attached to the 2 metal "O" rings on the white cotton straps (this is missing from this example).
An extremely lightweight helmet which could have only offered minimum protection."
