Helmet 1 looks like one from DDR.
Nr 3 is a Dutch helmet -Romanian
nr 2 is hard to tell by the photos

This is articel about M37 (in russian) with very good photos!Here

Articelooooooops I made a check up.....you are right-this is Swiss M18 helmet

Is ok, for that this forum is.....to learn about , and i find the right answer in the end...

Course ...just it looks very like a hungarian M37 from WW2

P.S Are you collector like me?

It's hard to be sure from the pics presented, but No 2 does look like an American helmet without a liner. But other countries copied this pattern, and some of the copies are very good.

It looks unissued, or at most very lightly used.

I look to all details , from few sources and is american M-1 A-1 year 1942-1945.
Without doubt; soon i make some pictures; good one and you`l see .
Thank you

I am not sure about No. 2 identity... The U.S. M1 helmet, yes, maybe. But genuine U.S.-made helmets usually had a matt olive drab finish. A positive identification is more difficult in this because the sub-helmet lining is missing.
It could be a French M. 51 (although the later has a much pronouced brim on the back, thus making it the most "independent" M1 look-alike). The German M 54-56, on the other hand was almost a carbon copy of the American original, but with a leather liner and not a sub-helmet...

Is not Franch because the belt from helmet in not franch;is M1 american helmet.Look the belt.

The brim is not like the French M.51 either; however, the French made use of a very similar chin strap. The helmet can be a US-made one or some European copy; without the liner, is difficult to tell.
