Peter_Suciu Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I picked up a police sun helmet at SOS (Show of Shows) really cheap but I have no idea what badge this might be? I assume French but from where? Any idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speagle Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Can you share a picture of the helmet? That might generate a clue or two? Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Hi, it is the badge of the Paris Police, there are a nimber of variations, so I am not sure which epoch this is, I think 50s-60s best Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter_Suciu Posted March 19, 2013 Author Share Posted March 19, 2013 That is very helpful. Thank you Chris. Over the last couple of years I've bought up the white summer sun helmets that strangely are in use (or were used) by more police departments than I ever suspected. I never meant to be a police helmet collector but suddenly I have FIVE of these things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speagle Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Peter, So-when do we see your small, but interesting collection? Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
