WWI WW1 French Steel Helmet Soldier Type M1915 Infantry Reproduction

Good quality surprisingly comfortable to ware chin strap is thin but comfortable and adjustable I would recommend for anyone looking to buy a French Adrian helmet ww1 reproduction

Quality product! Very authentic. It takes a LONG time to arrive!

Fits my 7 1/8 head snugly. Although I have no original with which to compare it, it seems like a quality reproduction. My only qualm is with the paint, which is gray and not the blue-gray described for originals and in the descriptions of all the Adrian helmet repros. I purchased a German stahlhelm repro from the same seller, and the two helmets seem to be painted with the exact same gray paint.

Build quality was ok. Paint job was abismal. Multiple light spots or no paint at all.

When the helmet came, it came a few days earlier than expected. When I examined the helmet, I noticed a bunch of dents on the sides, top, and back. The front brim was slightly uneven as well. I also noticed underneath the liner, the helmet can be a bit dusty and it might require a polish. For the liner itself, it might also need a cleaning too. However, it did try to capture the correct “Horizon Blue” color the French wore during WWI, just slightly darker than what the helmet was supposed to be, but it fits really well on my head. The leather chin strap is pretty comfortable and can be adjusted without trouble. But overall, the helmet looks like it might’ve been rushed and it could’ve looked better.
