Description: I've just been informed by another collector of militaria the this is an East German helmet. You'll have to be the judge.A collector gave me the information below about the Chinese helmet.Rare Steel Military Helmet For Chinese Elite Police in Beijing Adjustable SizeHelmet Liner and strap are adjustable within very wide range.A collector who bought the "A" helmet from me provided me with the specifics of this helmet.Made with special steel rather than kevlar because earlier kevlar versions were not strong enough.This is model "wjg-04". "wj means for armed police; "g" means steel; and "04" means went into service in 2004.Retired in 2014 and replaced with improved kevlar due to much lighter weight.They have level 4 protection which can protect from tokarev at close distance.My collector says this has protection similar to the "m56" but are heavier and look prettier than the East German helmet. Outside surface has small rubs but no dents.Inside lining is clean with no signs of use. Foam discolored due to age.The "hat size" is adjustable within a very wide range: the circumference by white plastic tabs behind the front strap anchors, the internal depth by a string through the tabs at the top inside, and the chin strap by the different buckle holes.See the last four photos for these adjustment points.Size: 12" x 10 1/2" W x 6"H.Weight: 3 lbs, 4 oz.U.S. shipper Smoke free, pet free home.
