chevpol Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 (edited) Ok folks, here's one for the collective brain cell, whats this helmet? When we bought it, we were told that it was a Military Police one. Mark Edited December 18, 2010 by chevpol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcspool Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Mark, It is a helmet worn by the Royal Netherlands Military Police called "Marechaussee". Hence the crown and the "M". I guess it dates back to the 1960s. HTH, Hanno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcspool Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 See attached pic (source: http://www.marechausseenostalgie.nl/), dated 1965. The sign says "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year", so I this picture fits the subject of the thread and the time of year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTH, Hanno That is correct, and the blue line around indicates how deep they should be pushed under water. :-D Greetz David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 The liner is probably more recent than the 60's. I'd say 1980's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
