    Spanish Model 1942 "Modelo Z" Steel Helmet
    The Spanish adopted a German styled helmet, called the Modelo Z in 1942. This helmet was German in style but only 1mm thick with an unrolled edge. It featured a three-pad liner that was attached by seven bolts. Despite rumors to the contrary these helmets were never produced in Germany or on German machinery.

    Spanish Model 1942/79 Steel Helmet:

    The metal bracket on the front of the helmet is to attach a removable brass Spanish Eagle badge "Emblem of the Army" thats usually only worn during parades or formal events.

    The liner was updated in 1975 and put into widespread use in 1979. This helmet remained in use as Spain joined NATO in the 1980s.

    the helmet in my photos is the last version M42/79 with the new style liner suspension with webbing & leather and adjustable web chin cup similar to the type used on US paratrooper helmet liners.

    also shown is the Spanish M1964 bayonet [Machete Bayoneta Modelo 1964]

    Knife bayonet for use on the 7.62 mm. NATO caliber CETME assault rifle. Also used on the FR–7 and FR–8 training rifles.
