MHillyard Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Had this for a while, never seen another one. I believe it is a para helmet and is just the liner. Dated 1962. Anyone know any more info on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdbikemad Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Belgian, styled on the wartime/50s US M1 with nape strap and leather chinstrap......this example was, I believe, intended for police use (noting the "grenade" badge outline and strap with a chincup arrangement)......but I think the basic model was without these features (still blue), more like a standard infantry model and worn when required with a grey or green finished steel outer shell.......loads of these in new and used condition were available from a particular surplus wholesaler during the early 1990s.......
