Serbian M59/85 Helmet 

 

Produced from 1959-to 1999 

 

Evolved From: Stahhlem M35/40/42

 

Used By: Yugo People’s Army (1959-1991), used by multiple countries such as Serbia, after the breakup of Yugoslavia in 1991.

 

The M59 is thought to be designed by Tito. In 1985 the M59 was given a better shell, one that didn’t interfere with wearer of the helmet and a liner upgrade. It was called the M59/85. 

 

The M59/85 Helmet came with various decals on the helmet. Some had the Red Star painted on or a Red Star Decal. Each country that used them had their own different decals. Mine has the decal for the Serbian Army.

 

They were used in the Yugoslav Wars.
