This helmet was purchased from the widow of a car mechanic in Sweden. The workshop he worked at was on the border with Finland. One day a Finnish ambulance came in with battle wounds. In the ambulance was this helmet, which was taken as a souvenir.

Really nice combat helmet which comes with a fascinating history!!
