  Chinese tank solider here, The helmet name is (TMT - 3a2) the letter A means that it is a "Souther Summer" variant which is the most common export variant. The following number (either 1 or 2) is a size indicator, Big helmets are called 1 and small helmet are called 2. (there is no medium size) If you are unsure if your helmet is big or small there will be a lable with either the 大 symbol on the big helmets, or a 小 symbol on the small helmets or you may look at the side where the big helmets have much larger sides that extend far past the forehead cushion and bellow the headphones. As for the variant, there are Southern Summer (a) and Northen Summer (c). The "Southern Summer" variant is the only variant that is made with a net, where as the "Northen Summer" variant is made of a thin fabric instead. And (b) and (d) variants are winter variants and they are both made of a thick leather material with fur lining and much bigger headphones. AS for the whole helmet itself you are able to tell this is a TMT - 3 helmet as the older TMT - 2 is a clone of the russian TSh - 4M, and the more modern TMT - 4 has a metalic quick release connector plug and a conventional microphone. The bulcky strap at the back is a throat microphone. And the two straps on the top are not for tightening but instead the are used to fasten the cord to the top of the helmet during storage. The top straps are also supposed to run underneath the cushion and not over it (there are gaps between the net and the cushion for this reason) Type 69/79 are the name of the tanks this helmet was often used in, In the iraq war this helmet was used in Type 59 and Type 69 tanks but today they are used even in Type 80 and early Type 96 tanks. The full name for your helmet would be 南方夏帽TMT - 3a2坦克帽 (South Summer TMT - 3a2 Tank Cap).

  Wow, I have exactly the same shell casing in my museum on the eastern Front She was found at the sites of the large-scale tank battle "Kursk Bulge" near the city of Belgorod during the explosion of the American M3 - Stuart tank, which transferred to the USSR as a Lend-lease, she was covered in shrapnel wounds Change: I was wrong about the tank, most likely it was the M3-Lee , since these tanks were definitely there and they had an additional 37mm cannon Stuart was already an old model in 1943

  The helmet shell weighs around 2 1/4 lbs and the liner is about 1/4 lbs. When compared to a German M42 helmet it is 3lbs so about a 1/2lbs difference. Though I no longer have my Adrian helmet anymore I can’t get its exact weight.

  I have pretty much the same helmet, but instead of just one bump at the top, mine has four. It looks exactly the same as this one, just one variation. I'm wondering if it's still the same helmet. Having a lot of trouble trying to find exactly what kind of tanker helmet it is.

• 
  @WarTalks2 ай бұрын

  If yours has four bumps that would make it a TSh-4M (Second Model) meaning it would have been produced after 1972 until the next model would come out. If you’re not sure exactly the country the markings are the easiest way to differentiate them. Here’s the link that I use for information on this kind of tanker helmet: equipment.fandom.com/wiki/TSh-4

  Nice looking helmet. You say the 'streak' in the paintwork is pretty much standard, but what is it's purpose, anything to do with camoflage?

• 
  @WarTalks2 ай бұрын

  From what I remember from the sources I have seen, the point of that streak was to protect the main layer of paint when in storage. Though information is pretty scarce on it, that seems to be the most likely purpose for it. I don’t see it on all helmets but it’s certainly not a rare feature.

• 
  @WarTalks3 ай бұрын

  I’m not really sure to be honest. I’m not really someone who looks much into the helmet manufacturers too much. My best guess is that the machines used by each manufacturer may have had slight differences leading to slightly altered shapes, such as how M1 Schlueters and McCords have a slightly different shape.

  Thanks for the info, I was pretty sure it was a Chinese manufactured tanker helmet based on what I could find photo wise but I couldn’t find any solid resources to back it up, so the clarification is a big help. I was also unsure of the throat mic, because at first that’s what I thought it was but it can’t fit around the foam head so I wasn’t sure what it was, so one again big help there. I’ve been trying to get one of the Russian manufactured Iraqi used example but they don’t come up on the market as often, but I’m hoping to get one in soon.

  Hola amigo una pregunta, por que los cascos m1 eran no magnéticos y la costura era frontal?

• 
  @WarTalks3 ай бұрын

  From what I can find on this topic, the early M1 helmets were made with stainless steel rims due to their non-magnetic properties in order not to interfere with other equipment such as compasses for example. As to the seam being on the front it seems there is varying opinions on why it was placed on the front and later moved to the back so I can’t give a conclusive explanation to that question. If you want to see what some people think I’ll point you towards this discussion board on the topic, www.warrelics.eu/forum/us-m1-steel-helmet-forum/whats-difference-between-rear-seam-front-seam-m1-helmets-681036/

  @WarTalks6 ай бұрын

  Personally I would say it is a post war model. I’ve researched Vietnamese pith helmets for nearly 3 years now so I’ve seen many circulate the market on various websites and sellers. I look at a few things to quickly decide if it is a war time one or not being the interior color, liner material, cracking, slope of the helmet, and if there is a tag or not. Usually the paint is a dark green with a very light gloss effect. I mainly stay away from helmets with a vibrant green and very rough texture and very flat matte greens as many of those will be very late to post war examples. If you find good photos of war time examples they have a very particular liner build that is a darker green that tends to fade and curl in on its self over time. They will look like a strong fabric material while more modern examples will look the same but like a glossy plastic. From what I have found most of the war time examples will have cracking in the dome of the helmet which isn’t really seen on post war examples and if so is usually faked in many of the examples I have come across. Most war time examples will have a steep slope like this example or a gradual slope which is seen later war. The model that would come later post war is what is mostly on the market today which is a mostly flat pith helmet with a very small slope all around. Lastly I’ve found that most examples with a tag tend to be a post war example as I’ve very rarely seen pith helmets with tags ever and when they do have tags they are not standard issue examples. So with all of this in mind I would have to say in my personal opinion that the example you have is post war. If you want to some good information on these helmets I’ll leave you this link to a history on Vietnamese helmets, in which it gives a basic run down with some photos of the major model changes of the pith helmets: www.nyc-techwriters.com/militaria/vietnamese_helmets.htm If you would like to see some very good examples of pith helmets which also have information I’ll give the link to Enemy Militaria, which is a seller with a lot of good original examples and some odds and end examples which will show you more of what I was talking about in what good examples should have: enemymilitaria.com/shop/?fwp_search=Pith%20Helmet&fwp_military=north-vietnamese-army-nva-pavn-vietnam-war-viet-co%2Cviet-cong-vc-vietcong-national-liberation-front-nl&fwp_product_category=headgear These are some things to look at if you want to learn more about or even invest in another Pith Helmet, which I will note usually they go for around $500 from most sellers depending on the variation and specifics of the helmet.
