France WW2 Model 1935 Tank Helmet

This is a very difficult type of helmet to find, known as the “Jeanne d' Arc" helmet or Armored vehicle helmet. Features a steel skull shell with rear visor and front leather brow pad. These helmets were issued to armored vehicle and tank crews in the French military before and during World War Two. Lovely example retaining its blue painted finish in the dark blue color, typical of Helmets used by the French Armée de l'Air (Air Force). Has its original leather front bumper pad and leather liner. Complete with chinstrap arrangement. Missing the front helmet badge.
A hard helmet to find in excellent condition.
