m15 Passive defence helmet

[geelong]

just thought I would share this m15 French helmet with you guys.
a nice little pick up from a local dealer. he only had it a day. I snapped it up soon as I seen it.
the D P has been painted very good on to the front of the helmet. this helmet as you will see has had 3 different paint jobs in its life blue brown then white. I read that the
Germans in ww2 made the passive defence teams paint there helmets white during the occupation. thanks mark

the hardest thing with these helmets is that badges liners can be added or swapped out real easy. the trick is to wait and a good one will pop up.
