i have seen a lid like this before but i cant for the life of me remember where from but i can tell you it's not US
i think it may be a french 1951 helmet
Thanks Nick i couldnt put in my mind that it was a m1 .A french post war ok

Ill agree with Nick, French! Ive got one somewhere, Ill try and root it out and get a pic.

very much in the same vein as the US m1 with only a slight change in shape sure was a popular design
That is french M51 OTAN helmet. read OTAN from back - NATO

Most likely French. Possibly Portuguese or South African. These countries produced this french design as well. Look at the markings in the inside of steel shell.
Cheers,
Emile
the chin strap reminds me of a us m1
looks like a late issue French M51 with smooth paint and fixed loop bales, are the loops that hold the chin straps welded in the shell or does it have swivel loops? I use to own one that was dated 1971 and the loops were fixed [non movable type] and the paint was smooth green without any rough texture.
