Uncommon Spanish Civil War M-30 helmet, Czech-made, two protruding vent holes and bracket at front for Spanish Republic insignia. Repainted, lacking two rivets, liner, and chin strap. Although believed to have been made for the Czech Army, the M30 helmet was never issued, with the M-32 taking its place. With the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War, the Spanish Republican Government brought nearly all the stock of the M30 helmets that had been manufactured. During the civil war, any captured helmets were used by both sides and hence Nationalist forces also used large numbers of these helmets.
