France - Military helmet - French brass firefighter's helmet, model 1895.

French brass firefighter’s helmet (Elmo) typical of the Third Republic, often referred to as the 1895 model. A beautiful collectible piece, with signs of age and of maintenance by whoever recovered it and preserved it for over 100 years. Excellent condition outside and inside, complete with its chin strap, plume, and waxed canvas lining. I have included many photos to appreciate it and to give every detail of the exterior, the leather, and the helmet without a pointed tip. The leather is still soft and elastic.

Estimate:£177.06
