Another interesting Helmet joined the wall hanging
This one is a M51 Belgian it is based on the US M1 late WW2 design.
First issued in 1951 original paint w/ some minor dents and paint chips down to the primer.
After World War II many NATO Nations adopted the M1 style helmet.
The Belgian helmet was made of non-magnetic Hadfield steel.
Made by adding 1.00-1.25% Manganese to steel with a carbon range of 1:10 ratio.
