FrankieCzech Posted August 10, 2023 Share #1 Posted August 10, 2023 Hello. My friend would like some advice on these two helmets. The first one came complete with French flags and the described liner. The second helmet is just shell with an officer stripe painted on it. He would like to ask about the possible origin of the first helmet and its original use and the painting of the second helmet. I am attaching photos and would be grateful for any knowledge of these helmets. Thank you very much. F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruckup Posted August 11, 2023 Share #2 Posted August 11, 2023 I unfortunately have not much to add to this conversation but this helmet looks real to me and has the correct bail attachments. The Leadership helmet with the white strip looks to be somewhat repainted tho, may be period or post. I really enjoy theses helmets and believe them to be real and honest.

Ruckup Posted August 11, 2023 Share #3 Posted August 11, 2023 Ment to add this as well, the helmets are certainly US M1s but could of been pressed into French us post war in Algeria or French Indochina. Which I feel is the case here. God Bless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
