    Nice! Am I correct in thinking that the WW2 French helmet was a 3 piece version of the 1915 job?

    I think so, I'm going to have a look. It is a good WW2 one (dated 1944)

    The LW has its chinstrap and its leather liner. Unfortunatly the leather recieved a blow of knife or cutter (but it is there !)
    In fact, for 70€ I also recieved a Belgian helmet (same than GB but with leather liner) a 1916 German shell, a M40 German shell and a German police shell (these 3 shelles were in bad condition but It widely paid off the purchase !!!) a lucky day as I said...

    The seller gave me a souvenir of his Golf War (An Iraqi helmet because heo participated in the operation Daguet. I have still this helmet of course. On the left It could be a WW2 (free) French helmet made for Arabian Goumiers who worn US M17 helmet without it liner (because of their turban) We often hear about this helmet but nobody is really sure it existed indeed
