Hink441 Posted January 30, 2021 #1 Posted January 30, 2021 This is a helmet from the India Army. It is in rough condition but still pretty cool. Took me awhile to identify the Country.
stratasfan Posted January 30, 2021 #2 Posted January 30, 2021 Wow! Super interesting! The general shape looks a lot like the American WWII helmet. Out of curiosity . . . how were you able to ID it as Indian? I would think that took you a bit of work! Thanks for sharing!
Hink441 Posted January 30, 2021 Author #3 Posted January 30, 2021 Thank you for your comment. Well I stumbled across an image showing this helmet worn by the Indian army while researching Iraqi helmets used during Desert Storm. The two rivets on each side that secure the chinstrap were the features that I used to find a match. You will notice that the two rivets are not level. Here are some examples of the India helmet.
