just got this today from Sportsman's guide for $9.99
it's a French steel helmet with a US WWII style liner & chinstrap, even has early style fixed bales and the web straps are sewn on, the liner is also made like a US WWII liner and has tan webbing, leather band, leather retaining strap with buckle like the US model, but the over all shape of the helmet is different than the US helmet.
I think it could be the model 1951 / M51?
inside steel helmet is marked:
J. DUNOIS & FILS
1970
-VINCENNES-
inside liner is marked:
C HR 1955
