    WWII Swiss M18-43 helmet in very nice condition; with original liner and chinstrap. Introduced in 1918, these helmets were refurbished in 1943-1944 when the original olive green paint scheme was replaced with a textured black paint finish, the clip on camo cover shown in photo is reversible with the summer camo out, that is very similiar to the splinter patten used by the German army during WWII

    the other side of the helmet cover has a autumn color camo pattern

    The WWII Swiss army trench shovel is marked: F.A. SCH. 40 [mfg in 1940] comes with a metal carrying sheath dated 1944 with leather straps to secure it to a soldier's belt, all items are of the highest quality, typical of Swiss craftsmanship.

      JimmyC,

      I think it's the Finnish M31? the Swiss did use this design during WWII

      The Suomi KP/-31 (Suomi-konepistooli or "Submachine-gun Finland") was a submachine gun (SMG) of Finnish design used during World War II
