    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:

    It's a tank helmet as it's got the pouches for earphones.

    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.)
