Yugoslavian M59/85 Helmet Liner Instructions

This is an example of the paper helmet liner adjustment instructions issued by the Technical Overhaul Institute with new M59/85 model Yugoslavian combat helmets. Very little information exists on these pamphlets and I have only ever found one other example. To the best of my knowledge these were issued folded into fourths tucked up inside the top of the liner in each of these new helmets whether being the completely new shell or perhaps reissued M59 helmet shells refitted with the new 1985 model liner. This particular example was found folded up inside the top of the liner of a M59/85 helmet shell retaining the red Yugo national star emblem. The helmet was purchased from Coleman's Surplus in 2021.
