    French M1 Helmet Shell

    This is my early Frenchicon M1icon style helmet shell, M51 if you prefer, in unissued condition. It does have a certain amount of "patina" due to 70+ years of storage. I do suspect that it is made of a slightly thinner gauge metal than it's US counterpart but I haven't measured it to confirm this.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.
