An Interesting Belgian 1960's Riot Police Helmet in good to very good condition. The helmet maintains good paint with a nice chin strap and liner. The helmet itself is typically a postwar Belgian police or gendarmerie riot helmet, often based on refurbished shells or similar European designs. In the 1950s–1960s, Belgian authorities repurposed older military helmets and adapted them for public order duties, repainting them in dark blue (a common police color) and sometimes adding badges or unit markings. These helmets were used primarily for riot control, crowd management, and civil defense, rather than combat, and were often paired with updated liners and chinstraps for improved wear during prolonged operations.
