You are buying an old French M-51 "Treillis Toutes Armes" helmet: steel pot, suspension webbing, chinstrap, carrying strap and leather sweatband. Unit that probably saw service in the Indochina or Algerian War period.

The Modèle 1951 TTA helmet was a military helmet used by the French military (Army, Navy, Air Force and Gendarmerie), iconic of the Algerian War. It replaced a variety of helmets used during the Second World War, including the Adrian helmet, Modèle 1945 helmet and American-supplied M1 Helmet. Was designed to have the same general shape as the US M1 Helmet, in an effort towards standardisation within NATO. The two differ in that the M1 has a longer visor and a more pronounced downwards slope on the sides. The M1 also has a nape strap while the Modèle 1951 does not. Was produced until 1976, before being superseded by the Modèle 1978 helmet. It nonetheless remained in service well into the 1980s. 

It comprised a heavy external cover, made of 1.2 mm of an amagnetic alloy of manganese steel, and a lighter inner helmet. Liner is made of plastic material with cotton fabric straps, suspension and leather sweatband. They are attached with metal rivets.

Heavy used condition, with obvious wear. Leather of the sweatband is broken in some sections. Full helmet, steel pot with complet liner. It has big dent/impact. Steel pot made by MENESA, Neunkirchen (Germany) in 1953. Unknow maker for liner.
