    thanks opex mine is in the same mint condition as yours but mine is dated 1954 i love these lids as they offer something a bit different from the usual m1 style especially with the large flared rear rim ,a definite must for any helmet collection thanks james

    I have a couple of the French M51 helmets, an early model from 1951 and a later model from 1953

    I have seen photos of this helmet in use during the Vietnam war by the South Vietnamese and also the Cambodians
