This is an original WWI French M1915 Adrian steel helmet featuring the "RF" (République Française) infantry badge on the front. The Adrian helmet was the standard helmet issued to French soldiers during the First World War and became one of the most recognizable helmets of the conflict.
The helmet remains in good overall condition for its age, especially considering it is over 100 years old. The steel shell is solid and still displays a nice aged patina from years of storage and use. There are small dents, scratches, and areas of finish wear, which are typical for a helmet of this era and add to its authenticity and character. The RF infantry badge is still present on the front, giving the helmet great display appeal. The helmet does not have the original liner, but the interior hardware and attachment points are still present.Overall this is a great original WWI French Adrian helmet that would make an excellent addition to a military collection or historical display. Please review all photos carefully for condition details.
