bryang Posted December 4, 2020 Share #1 Posted December 4, 2020 I lived in Belgium in the '70's as a kid (my father was U.S. Army and we were stationed there for three years. I started collecting militaria while over there and one day picked up this helmet at our local Sunday morning flea market. While it seems obviously a motorcyclist's helmet, I'm not certain who would wear this. Is it military, police or post office? Any education appreciated.

earlymb Posted December 4, 2020 Share #2 Posted December 4, 2020 It's not Belgian but Dutch, a motorcyclist's helmet indeed of the Koninklijke Marechaussee, the military police; 1950's/60's-era. The blue line indicates how deep you had to push them under water, or so the story goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryang Posted December 4, 2020 Author Share #3 Posted December 4, 2020 Outstanding! I appreciate it. Makes sense finding it in Belgium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
