Spanish Civil War / Blue Division Volunteer Collection

[Aldo]

Thank you Gentlemen for the comments. I'll be adding one more M26 with a different look soon. Michael, you'll recognize the type of helmet from a thread you posted years ago for a friend.

Regards, Al

The other helmet arrived today, an M26 painted in light grey with yellow stencil insignia as used by the Policia Armada aka "Los Grises" I believe these were used immediately post war during the Franco regime.

I found three photographs taken by a family member in Spain in the 1970's. Great photo's of a military parade of Franco's troops and armored vehicles. Note the model Z M42/79 helmet with the National eagle attached on the front.

Just thought I'd revisit this after learning that a (very) distant cousin served in Franco's Air Force during the Spanish revolution and beyond. Gives me a new appreciation for the subject.

Thanks Brig, I've been neglecting this thread. I forgot to post this additional Air Force wing I acquired earlier this year. See post #7 on the link below
