The first one ?

French Type 202 Paratrooper Training Helmet

Can you identify this helmet please.

The company still exists although the address [a very expensive part of Paris !] is now occupied by Prada - makers of extremely expensive ladies equipment

Hi Jake IMO the second one shown is a Polish Wz63 paratrooper helmet it became widely produced and used by other Warsaw Pact Nations.

Cheers guys,so is the French training Helmet a desired collectable piece?also the seller has a mixed bag of headgear including relic TR Helmets,unfortunately there are 4 negatives against them and Fake being the reason in all cases.

In France, I see one in Buy it now at 22 €! But only for France.
If the man have negative notes, don't buy to him!

Jake these French Para helmets are also available in bright Orange, I was offered one once but passed as at that time I did not realise what it was. I later found out they are used by French Para's and was very annoyed with my ignorance and stupidity at turning it down!!!


The Warsaw Pact Para helmet was also worn by Saddam's Para's ( or was it an East German Para helmet,same thing I think) both highly collectable and for the right price I would go all out to own a pair like these

Hi Gary as im crap at doing links to ebay,have a look under ww2 Helmets and your find them,there's some stuff that might not be right especially as the seller has 4 negitives for faking,but if you know what your looking at you may get lucky..........
