Swiss M1918/40 Helmet

Original Swiss Model 1918 steel helmet, featuring the distinctive Swiss rounded shell with side ventilation lugs and rolled rim. This example retains its original leather liner system and chinstrap hardware, with heavy exterior age, paint loss, oxidation, and honest service/storage wear throughout.

The M1918 was Switzerland’s first widely issued steel combat helmet, adopted shortly after World War I. Its unusual shape was developed independently from German and French patterns and remained in Swiss service, with modifications, for decades. Many were later repainted, refurbished, or retained in civil defense use.
