WWII Belgian M31 Adrian Helmet – May 1940 Campaign, Complete with Chinstrap

Original Belgian M31 Adrian helmet, used during the early stages of World War II, particularly during the May 1940 campaign (“Battle of Belgium”).

A very attractive and honest example retaining a significant amount of its original wartime paint, giving the helmet excellent display appeal. The helmet is complete with its original liner and chinstrap, and shows genuine period wear and age from service use (please refer to the images for condition details).

The liner is clearly marked by the Belgian manufacturer “X. BUISSET” of Vilvoorde and is size 60 — a desirable large size, noticeably bigger than the standard Belgian M31 Adrian helmets commonly encountered.

Overall, this is a desirable and increasingly scarce piece of original Belgian WWII headgear, especially as a complete example with strong untouched character and good original finish.
