    Default WWI French m15 helmet

    Brought this home from a militaria fair (Wings and Wheels) the day before yesterday. A French Artillery helmet with original dark blue paint. Normally I don't collect French militaria, but it had my name on it when I saw this beauty. Maybe I can make a Verdun display with it, in the future though.
    Enjoy!

    Regards

    I don't know what's wrong. Since the maintenance on the forum I can not upload pictures anymore. Some of the pics posted by other members I can not see either.
    I hope it's resolved quickly.

    Ingrid, super "Casque Adrian", always wanted one, but even these are steadily rising in price ! the one below appears to be in one of the museums at Verdun. Prost ! Steve.

    I saw it in the museum I went.

    Another thing to write it on your 'Bucket List'!

    Good helmet. As already stated WWI French helmets are rising in price and getting harder to find.
