*Missing Badge as pictured

Over 3.5 million M26 Adrians were produced and saw service throughout WWII. This helmet was designed in the mid 1920's and it was approved in 1926, hence M26.

The M26 was made of 0.9mm Manganese steel and in two parts, the shell and the crest, unlike its predecessor which had four parts. The original badges from WWI were still applied on these M26 helmets up until 1937 until the new smaller disc types were introduced.

Those made after 1935 are usually painted khaki, reflecting the French army movement to a more camouflaged uniform in the 1930s.
