General information:
In September 1938, the Romanians signed a contract with the Dutch company Verblifa (Vereenigde Blikfabrieken) to produce helmets for their armed forces. The helmets were an exact copy of the Dutch 1934 model, except the insignia was egg-shaped instead of oval, as in Holland. The Romanian insignia had two letters "C" and a crown above, representing King Carol II, Romania's monarch from 1930 until his forced abdication in 1940. On the top of the M39 there is an ink stamp with the letters "CCR", which stands for "Commission Romana Receptie". These stamps would probably have been applied in Romania. After the exile of King Charles, the use of front badges was discontinued. The Romanian version of the Dutch M34 is called the 1939 Model. Sources vary as to the number of helmets produced by Verblifa for Romania, but two sources report that the number was 628,000. Kevin de Joode, in his book, says that 800,000 M39 helmets were ordered. Of course, it is possible that 800,000 helmets were ordered, but only 628,000 were actually produced.
