Original Belgian M51 Helmet

Belgian M51 Helmet – Inspired by the Iconic U.S. M1

The Belgian M51 helmet, often called the “steel pot,” is an authentic piece of European military history. Directly inspired by the legendary American M1 helmet used during World War II, this Belgian variant carries the same unmistakable shape and rugged reliability.
