Those are both excellent examples. Nice for the eyes to see on the last / first day of the year.

I had a note about that one #396804
At the time he had three different M1915 officers helmets
I have an officers I R 76 but not an M1915
There is a Baden but it needs work
Good for you on your purchase !

Tony, thank you for the photos, they are so interesting. Are the visors made of fibre too?

Hi, this one is. Some were made of pressed cardboard as well. The helmet is very light to hold.
