I got this helmet from a flea market yesterday, and am trying to find out what the insignia is. I think it's a Czech style helmet, but no idea about the insignia. If you have an idea, let me know, just curious of where its been

Looks polack to me, that's a polish eagle emblem spray painted I think
How much did it run you?
>>29956744
Probably wanted to make it look like a Polish eagle but whoever spraypainted that fucked it up, like really badly. No way thats OG

About 15 dollars, she didn't know anything either and wanted some quick cash. I thought it was a cheap buy on it

Those are done at the factory. they're polish police helmets from like... I forget when; somewhere around the 70s-80s. I have one too.
thanks for helping me out on that, it may be fake but it didn't cost me too much out of pocket if fake

Who knows m8, communism could have been hitting particularly hard that day

Yeah, they may wanted to make it look authentic but I took the bait on it, oh well.

Polish crest, honestly its probably a cheap pot metal repo that would hardly deflect a stick

It's probably genuine, Cold War-era Polish helmets aren't really valuable enough to warrant faking

Could you like take a picture from the side and inside?

Alright listen here retards polac/k/ coming through, theres one reason why this is a fake (other thank looking like shit) and probably done by some fudd in his garage to spice it up alittle; the Polish crest and eagle during the communist era was missing the crown, courtesy of Moscow. OP's helmet has a shitty crown spray painted on, along with rectangle wings.
Can confirm that's supposed to be a Polish eagle on Polish helmet.
My helmet is very dilapidated and beat to shit, but the sprayed on eagle is legit and original.
