Hungarian M35/38 manufactured for export to Finland, these helmets were modelled on the German M35. Approximately 75,000 were made for export under contract for Finland. These differed from the domestic Hungarian helmets in that they were painted a different shade of green, and lacked Hungarian crown inspection stamps, this example is  stamped "DR". These helmets with their original liners are very scarce, most were refurbished early post war and had their liners replaced with a cheaper made alternative.
