SADF M63 "Staldaak" Helmet
The M63 is a steel helmet based off of the French M51 helmet seen in Colonial Africa. It was adopted by the South Africans and saw extensive use in the Bush War and Border War until it was later replaced by the M87 in the late 1980s. Sometimes you can still spy the odd M63 still in use in current conflicts in Africa!
One size fits all.
