"US" sign on M1 Helmet

**TheEtamos** · 07-15-2017, 08:04 PM

Hi all! I looked for an M1 helmet to buy, and I found this on a website. Unfortunatelly, the seller couldn't give much information about that. I only have some pictures, and I know, that it has a rear seam. I couldnt find out, why is "US" is painted on the helmet. Im afraid, that it can be an european copy of M1, and this sign was not originally painted on it. I want to know which time that helmet could be used? Maybe WW2 or Vietnam? Thanks for all the answers.

I told the seller to send me more pictures, he did, and on these, it can be seen, that this is really a french M51. Plumbob was right. Thank you for your help.
