Re: Some of my latest steel helmet pick ups
Well, you are not short of money, are you?!?!?! Some of those helmets can be - usually are - quite expensive. Or maybe you are just damned lucky!
Your Belgian M51 is *not* a UN helmet - that blue is the standard colour of liners and shells as used by the Belgian Air Force. And you are right, there would have been an oval lion badge on your Dutch helmet.
But an interesting set of new additions. Happiness, I am sure.

Well I guess I am just lucky then, because I have to be careful what I do with my money. And thanks for lighting it up for me so it does not have to do with the UN but with the ABL AirForce. Yeah the lion helmet badge form is visible vaguely underneath the last layer of paint.
Thanks for your thoughts Grag
