Iraqi M90 Helmets

RARITY - 10 / 10

TYPE 1

The type 1 Iraqi M90 is the least common variant of the M90 found. The type 1 can be denoted by a dull olive green finish, green liner webbing, green chinstrap webbing, and black hardware. Interestingly, the type is believed to have been issued without a rubber rim, and why the majority of surviving examples are not seen with them.

Unidentified Variant

This variant of the M90 is yet to have been identified, and possibly could be a locally produced helmet. The variant features characteristics of an Iraqi Type 2 liner webbing and rubber rim, though also shares characteristics with the British WWII civilian defence helmet. Please look out for future updates when more information is available.
