Dear All,
I have just acquired this French cuirassier helmet for an enlisted man. The helmet is of the 1974 type and was used until the end of 1915 by French cavalry forces.
Not so frequent to come across in good condition nowdays!
The little bit on the top (marmouset) looks pretty neat to me and certainly original to the piece. Nice original chinscales with the leather strap linking both ends still present and strong. The interior is also in pretty good condition and complete. Standing next to its counterpart (French gendarmerie 1912 type) it looks quite impressive!
I would leave to hear your expert comments on that one!
Thanks
Alex
