Samval49 Posted June 6, 2022 Share #1 Posted June 6, 2022 bonjour j'ai acheté un casque dans une brocante mais je ne sais pas quel est ce modèle je pense que c'est un M51 de l'armée française. Sur le casque il est inscrit "Renov EWT 142" l'année est 1970 merci de me répondre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratasfan Posted June 7, 2022 Share #2 Posted June 7, 2022 Translation (courtesy of Google Translate): hello I bought a helmet in a flea market but I do not know what this model is I think it is an M51 from the French army. On the helmet it is written "Renov EWT 142" the year is 1970 thank you for answering me (Also, I moved this into Helmets so that it might get some thoughts!)

CavalryCombatant Posted June 7, 2022 Share #3 Posted June 7, 2022 Everything I’m seeing points towards an early French M51, the slightly off shape, the weird bales, and the close-but-not-quite chinstrap. I recall the M51’s used a version of fixed bales for a time, but I could’ve sworn they were shaped differently, yours might’ve been replaced later on? If it is, in fact, made in the 1970’s, there’s a number of design inconsistencies with the American helmets of the period, ignoring the fact M1 helmets weren’t dated (not positive if yours is, but guessing based on your post.). Still a nice helmet, but not one I believe to be US made. More photos could confirm or deny, especially something like a side/front profile shot.

USMC_COLLECTOR Posted June 7, 2022 Share #4 Posted June 7, 2022 If this was found on eBay, it would be going for thousands of dollars and the title would be something along the lines of, "RARE EXPERIMENTAL PARATROOPER RANGER WWII HELMET" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
