Fake round insigne of headquarters on french M26 adrian helmet for sale on catawiki now

[Helmcollector]

This (round) insigne on this French adrian for sale on catawiki was never produced. They were described but never really produced before 1940 and during wartime.
Tempting for me to make a bet untill I saw this warning.
This insigne for the 'headquarters' was produced earlier on the M15 adrian helmets but this was not a round insigne.
I translated the french warning in English by google translate.

"bonjour,
attention! des casques modèles 1926 ornés des insignes du service des poudres et de l'intendance sur rondache apparaissent sur le marché. les plus grands pécialistes sont d'accord pour affirmer que ces projets d'insigne n'ont jamais été fabriqués pendant et avant le conflit mondial de 1940. certaines annonces sur ebay font référence à mr roland hennequin afin d'authentifier ces pièces. celui ci dément toute connaissance quant à l'authenticité de ces pièces. ces insignes vendus apparament par un spécialiste de réplique, le sont au prix de 90 euros sans aucune information quant à leur origine. on commence à les trouver montés sur des adrians en bourse à 380 euros. méfiez vous, le collectionneur de militaria semble ètre devenu le pigeon à la mode.
cordialement"
.."En fait ces attributs ne sont pas des inventions.
Ils ont été décrits sur les planches de 1937 (je crois qu'il y a aussi St Cyr et Justice militaire), mais officiellement jamais fabriquées.
69 ans après, des frappes de ces insignes sortent : impossibles de parler de copies (car l'original n'existe pas), ni de re-frappes (car jamais frappées).
Et en plus, à 20 euros... "

"Good morning,
attention! model 1926 helmets adorned with the insignia of the gunpowder department and quartermaster on a roundel appeared on the market. leading specialists agree that these badge projects were never made during and before the 1940 world war. some listings on ebay refer to mr roland hennequin in order to authenticate these pieces. this one denies any knowledge as to the authenticity of these pieces. these badges apparently sold by a replica specialist, are priced at 90 euros without any information as to their origin. we are starting to find them mounted on adrians on the stock market at 380 euros. beware, the militaria collector seems to have become the fashionable pigeon.
Cordially"
.."In fact these attributes are not inventions.
They were described on the 1937 boards (I believe there is also St Cyr and Military Justice), but officially never made.
69 years later, strikes of these badges come out: impossible to speak of copies (because the original does not exist), nor of re-strikes (because never struck).
And in addition, at 20 euros... "

Ending bid : 203 euro + 9% auction cost, I thought it would go higher but maybe the specialist collectors knew about this....Erwin
