Wow, she's a beauty! Nice one col. james.
I have heard that these were quite fragile, and not much protection at all. Well done on the pickup, now you've got me wanting one............

Re: french colonial infantry m1915

Re: french colonial infantry m1915
please dont be so quick to go down the negativity road with not one positive in sight, im afraid you must elaborate further ,at least for my benefit i never purchased this "NICE "m15 in the hope the badge was original if it is then a bonus but i certainly didnt buy it on that basis ,what i didnt want to do was remove it from the helmet as it looked to fragile but i did ,if it is bogus badge it certainly looks like its been there a long time as for the material used im not sure as im not an expert on metal's all i can do is post these closer pictures hopefully they will do the talking
Re: french colonial infantry m1915
Hello
sorry, but on picture 7, it looks like brass....
I tell you after
Didier
