    So hey everybody I have this ww1 French m15 adrian helmet that I’m thinking is a relatively early version of the Adrian helmet for a few different reasons. Firstly, it is more of a horizon blue color rather than the grayish-bluish colorored ones that came later. Secondly, it has no slits for the emblem and no emblem anyhow. So my question I guess is if everyone else thinks it could be a earlier variation of the helmet or a extremely early version and also what the value could be. I’m not an expert on French helmets so whatever anybody can tell me would help. Thanks lots guys.

    Hello all,
    sorry but for some reason,from time to time ... I don't get any notification about messages on this (and other as well...)forum.

    The helmet is idd a French WWI model, but it has been messed with.
    The crest is a later model and as been added recently.
    The fact it has no holes for a frontplate could suggest it was made for the Italian army. But then again the color doesn't match.
    I don't give evaluations, because it depend of to much factors; the market you are on for one...

    I get lots of e-mail notifications, except when I am tagged, the one time it would be useful. You're not the first to bring this up.
