1st ref i could find:
http://www.fotw.net/flags/dk-royal.html

Field 3: Triparted, in chief Union: Three yellow crowns on blue (representing the Union of Calmar, uniting Denmark, Norway and Sweden)


2nd:

The order has a round blue shield with three yellow crowns in its centre.

Obviously the shield above isn't round, but it's likely related.
So the answer would be it's a swedish infantry helmet of some sort, possibly the royal guard.

Finns need no stinking helmets.

Originally manufactured as helmets, these items were converted to portable toilets for German troops after the Norwegian capitulation. Several were signed - and subsequently cleaned - by Quisling himself.

Do you know where your friend got the helmet? Maybe a little bit more information might help.

Photographs show that Finnish troops had some of these helmets from summer 1941.
Apparently Swedish Winter War volunteers had left them behind for Finnish use.
The Finnish Army had roughly 8000 Swedish m/21 and m/26-type helmets.

So whats your point? That it is i agree.

Finns using Swedish helmets on some occasions is one thing.
Associating yellow-on-blue (and crowns) with Finland is another thing.
Taking into account Finnish-Swedish history it could be even seen as insulting perhaps.
Now, did you really not get the point the first time?
Or were you just trying to redeem your faulty guess by quoting something you hadn't thought of before initially posting?

No one cares.

Assuming that someone could feel insulted about trivialities could be even seen as insulting perhaps.

that helmet looks awful

[Superhaze]

No helmet is useful without armor.

Didn't the armor go away because only the helmet was worth keeping due to widespread gun usage?
