Hi all
just received my newest Helmet... its my first French M51 OTAN.... bought off the dreaded Flea bay!!!
now from the pics in the listing... it looked.. well ...just. ok .. (not the best quality pics mind) but as the price was as they say "RIGHT" I pulled the trigger anyway!!
much to my surprise when I unwrapped it today!! ..... it is in near mint unissued condition!!!
so I'm pretty made up to be honest!!
The shell is made by Carpentier Cusset dated 1954
The liner maker F.D. and "C" for Celoron also 1954 dated
here's some pics
hope you like it as much as I do!!
oh and hope you don't mind but "Headley" wanted in on the action too!!!!
