The m/26 helmet is a steel helmet that was almost exclusively used by the Swedish Civil Defense, "Civilförsvaret".

A successor to the m/21 steel helmet, the m/26 was of a simplified construction to its predecessor and would be used in secondary roles for years after being formally replaced by the m/37 steel helmet.[1]

Design

Compared to its previous iteration, the M1926 shares the same basic shape but is simplified through the omission of the crest on the top of the shell, the three-crown crest on the front face of the helmet, the rolled edge, and the metal band that attaches the liner to the shell.[2] The liner being the same as on the M1921 but being attached straight to the shell instead of on a separate band.
