Russian
M1968 helmet as used by the Afghan army. The meaning of the painted
green band is unknown, but could just be the colour of islam. I do not
know the meaning of the black text on the right side.

Another Russian M1968 in
Afghan service. Sand coloured with painted olive green band and red
text on the right side. The helmet has a simple red and yellow decal
with the Afghan coat of arms in front. The helmet retains its original
olive green colour inside.

Yet another Russian M1968,
painted sand. Black text on the right side. The helmet retains its
original olive green colour inside. (My cat shares my interest in
helmets, as you can see...)
