Hello everyone, just wondering what this helmet is?
I assume its either airmans, tanker or dispatch riders?
Thanks

I know i'm not fortunate for it to be one of these as only 300 were supposedly made , but the shape is certainly similar:
looks like a ww2 italian tankers one The Collector's Guild
It's a tank helmet as it's got the pouches for earphones.
You are right
Very nice, I have never seen one like this before,my initial reaction was French, a very nice looking piece.
Hi Edelweiss,
I think it is a French pre war Gendarmerie motor helmet. These helmets were used by French para's during training in the early years after the war.
Cheers,
Emile
French dispatch rider .. (See the film "Day of the Jackal" .... the first scene, the assassination attempt.)
