Modern/Post-War Photos
The web got me to info on the Bulgarian helmets fast. The model is M36. Types are A, rolled rim, B&C, unrolled rims, different liner details. This image shows a type A. In the mid 1990s I found one of these at the Athens flea market. I didn't know what it was but bought it. It had a great, clearly old, large, handpainted red star, edged in white, on the front. Wish I'd kept it. It was probably from the Greek Civil War following WW2. I had a very difficult time finding identification then. Took about 20 minutes last night.
