Yugoslavian Steel Helmet M59/85 w/ Soviet Red Star, Nice Liner & Chin Strap

Description

Yugoslavian M59/85
The helmet's shape was inspired by the Spanish M34 helmet, sharing very similar profiles, with cut down edges. The liner is a copy of the American M1 helmet's webbing system. The helmets often had stars or Yugoslavian decals/stickers.
The M85 Is a modernisation of the M59 design, trimming down the rear of the helmet's skirt to make it more comfortable to lie prone, and utilises a slightly modified liner using clips to keep the leather sweatband in place.
