    Description

    Thick vulcanized fiber band rim, along with a four-point chinstrap system and a band of sorbo rubber for padding. The first steel helmet was produced at the BMB factory in 1941 and these early “P Type” helmets only numbered between 500 and 1000 units. It featured a non-magnetic manganese steel shell with a rubberized rim and a lining with interior padding that was remarkably similar to the German M36/40 design. This is a nice example of a post-war Belgium Helmet with OD Straps Size: 6 3/4in wide x 8in long. Weighs approx.: 3lbs 1oz
