As an avid collector of Lègion Etrangère militaria in general, I particularly like this example , though it does appear to be practically unused judging by the cleanliness of the sweatband and chin-cup inner which normally show's signs of sweat and grime, however with the provenance this makes for a highly collectable item, there should be more F1 helmets displayed on this site in my opinion as they are a huge contributor to the 20th century development of the casque.
Thanks for showing it here, Opex.
