here is the Swedish M1921 /18 high dome helmet on the left and a Swedish M21 / 16 "low dome" on the right
notice the difference in the shape, one has a higher profile, and the other has a flatter more flared shape
The Swedish military M21-18 helmet was introduced in 1921 as the second version of the M21 helmet. The first version, the M21-16 had a wider brim. Swedish M21 (18), also known as the "high top" was the second type having a narrower brim and less of a crest, these helmets were developed in 1918 but did not come into production until 1922/23, made of quality materials at the Eskilstuna Factories they remained in service throughout WWII when they were then eventually phased out by the M37.
superb examples of each model type .your very lucky to have found these battlegear so well done
