A GENUINE FRENCH MILITARY F1 HELMET COMPLETE WITH A CCE CAMOUFLAGE COVER.  IT HAS A STEEL OUTER SHELL, IS DATED 1981 AND COMES WITH A FULLY ADJUSTABLE LEATHER AND WEBBING HEAD HARNESS FOR COMFORT FITTING.

THIS IS THE EARLY VERSION OF THE F1 HELMET.  IT IS DISTINGUISHED FROM LATER MODELS BY ITS HAVING FIXED RATHER THAN SWIVEL CHINSTRAP BALES, A ROUND VERSUS A STAR CROWN PAD AND SCREWS RATHER THAN RIVETS ATTACHING THE SUSPENSION SYSTEM TO THE HELMET.  IT COMES WITH A 3 POINT CHINSTRAP AND AN ADJUSTABLE SIZE SWEATBAND.

THE INSIDE OF THE CROWN IS STAMPED WITH THE GOVERNMENT CONTRACTOR'S NAME DUNOIS AND THE CITY IIN WHICH T WAS MADE---COUSANCE FRANCE.

THE HELMET WEIGHS A LITTLE OVER 2 1/2 POUNDS AND ITS INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR ARE PAINTED IN A NATO OLIVE GREEN.  THE CAMOUFLAGE COVER HAS A THICK RUBBER TUBING AROUND ITS RIM TO ALLOW THE COVER TO BE SECURED OVER THE HELMET.

THIS HELMET IS IN GOOD USED CONDITION WITH NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR.  THE SUSPENSION SYSTEM, SWEATBAND, CROWN PAD AND LEATHER CHIN CUP ARE ALL PRESENT AND IN WORKING ORDER.  THE COVER HAS A FEW NICKS TO THE MATERIAL BUT NOTHING SIGNIFICANT.    IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THESE STYLE F1 HELMETS WERE MADE OF A LIGHT GAUGE STEEL AND IT WAS VERY COMMON KNOWLEDGE THAT THEY WERE PRONE TO DENTING.  THE HELMETS FOR SALE HERE WILL ALL HAVE NUMEROUS DENTS AND DINGS PARTICULARLY IN THE CROWN AREA----RANGING FROM SMALL TO MEDIUM IN SIZE.  LUCKILY THE SNUG FITTING COVER DOES A GOOD JOB OF HIDING THE DENTS.
