Austrian M58 helmet
Hi guys here I have a M58 Austrian army helmet fitted with a M58 thermoplastic helmet liner.
The steel helmet is marked U.SCH.59 in white which stands for the manufacturer Heinrich Ulbrichts Witwe 1959. This helmet would have originally been fitted with sewn on chin straps similar to the US M1. This one has replacement chinstraps fitted which are attached by brass rivets which were the type used in the late 60’s.
The liner is the M58 model but of the second type made out of thermoplastic which replaced the high pressure liners which were similar to the US versions. This liner has the grommet on the left side of the liner and has the bluish feldgrau imitation leather head band fitted. I have looked all over and can not find any makers marks but from what have I read these were produced in the 1960’s.
Thanks for looking guys cool militaria
