    Remember that particular Belgian infantry test helmet I missed a few months ago....

    French hussard test helmet

    Well I managed to lay hands on a French model.
    Those French test helmets are a bit older then the Belgian.
    But they were made in greater numbers and for many different purpose.
    And came to a end with the start of the great war.

    Still, a hard to get little special helmet.
    I am very happy with this one.

    Those "test" helmets were kind of trendy those days.
    Here is a small overview of some of them.
