Please, not "Police", but "Gendarmerie".
This one is for mounted Gendarme (With tail)
Best regards \/

Some of you have requested some pics of my French military police M1912 so here we are. These types of helmets were still in use in the french army until 1915!
Please feel free to make all the comments you wish.
Best regards to you All
