Need help with a French M51 Helmet stamp!

[EXNAVYEOD]

Hi,
This is my first thread on this forum!
I am looking for help with a stamp on the crown of my French M51 (Mle 51) Helmet.
I know that Franck and Dunois made shells for the French Mle 51 Helmet, and they left their marks on the shell. I have a Mle 51 that has S.A.U.F. on the shell. Who made this shell?
Is there a Website I can go to for the stamps on my Helmet?

Thanks

Jackson

Welcome, here's an excellent French site, it's in French though and you may need to sign up for free.

Hello,
A nice example. I really like the French clones.
Shell made by SAUF Paris. They only made shells in 1953.
Interesting that 'SAUF' translates to 'EXCEPT' in English. I can't find any other information about the company.

Here is a another good web page for M51 markings:
