Original Item: Directly from a European military depot these are “as is” and un-restored, but each helmet is genuine Pre-WW2 Manufacture. The M-26 has not been available to collectors in many years; known as the “ADRIAN” model 1926. Offered in various colors, from what paint remain, steel bowl construction with comb, top, each helmet bears a steel badge showing an embossed flaming bomb impressed “RF” for “Republique Francaise”. Each helmet is in “as found” condition. The old paint (which may or may not be WW2) is still present, helmets may have some dings and dents, but we do make sure that all four interior steel helmet liner brackets are in place (may be bent or slightly damaged). Slight rust and scratches should be expected, but please remember that these are genuine Pre-WWII helmets and have been in storage for over 50 years. We do include an old post war liner (one size liner only) that will show some decay, for you to install, if desired. Markings on shells, if present, vary.
Most shell sizes are small US 7 (56-58 cm)
