France M15 helmet corrugated aluminium strips

[Tony]

Hello,

I was wondering about the aluminium corrugated spacers for air circulation (I believe) in the M15 Adrian. I've seen so many Adrians for sale without the aluminium strips and wondered if that was a tell tale sign the helmet had been tampered with e.g replaced liner, or were some issued without the spacers? Did the men not like them for whatever reason maybe?

I have several Adrians and from memory (they're all packed away) I'd say all except maybe one have the aluminium strips, I think.

Any thoughts are most welcome.

Tony

No one knows?

Oh well, never mind.
