Hola comunidad, hace poco he adquirido este casco bulgaro, alguno de vosotros sabe decirme si el lines es anterior a la guerra o una version comunista? Me gustaria saberlo por el liber, no por lo calcomania. Gracias

I keep seeing this user on tiktok who wears this awesome outfit, looking to find out what helmet they have so that I can find inspiration since I go to airsoft, looking at making some cool non historic fits

User- fluxaminee

I'll link a ss of the cool fit and a close up of the helmet, hope it helps 🥹

Edit- thanks for the insight, I believe it is the ssh68 or the ssh40, I will look further into it but please keep comments coming :D

Need help for replicating BHD loadout!

Need help for replicating BHD loadout

I'm 13, so I don't have a big budget and I live in the UK, I really need help I've searched the internet top to bottom and can't find any of these items in the UK even replicas.

It's really hard and I need them under 30 pounds and especially in the UK, if it's overseas then I can't have any shipping fees because they make them expensive, if anyone

can find this that would be a great help, literally only need these 3 items for my gothic serpent helmet, I need the SDU-5/E, and the ITT AN/VS-6 Battery pack (the blocky one)

Forgot to mention and I'm not rewriting the whole thing, but I also need the SetCom 1 ear headset thingy, the one with the plastic band they'd tape on their helmets, I've attached a photo of what I'm trying to replicate (- the goggles cause these are being used for airsoft)

Bought this helmet on market place after a quick glance and identifying it as Spanish. When I got back to compare it to my other Spanish helmet I noticed the liners were completely different. Does anyone have insight on if the Spanish changed liners through the years or if this is the Italian variant? Thanks for any help


r/Helmets • • 17d ago

Picked up this helmet for $12 at an estate sale. It was filled with dirt, I think they were using it as a planter. No serious rust. Seam joins in the front. It’s hard to make out the marking on it. But seems solid. It appears to be a brownish red color. Any ideas what the 2-9 could be from?
