Avitas Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I would hazard to guess it might be a children's toy helmet from the period, or maybe made shortly after the war as a souvenir. It looks too small to be an actual combat helmet. I have never seen the tricolour shield decal on the inside like that. The rolled edges and air vent construction look pretty accurate for an M35, maybe it just looks smaller than it is? It is kind of interesting though, if it was indeed a period toy I would leave it in its current state as a historical oddity. Maybe someone else can weigh in.Cheers,Pat 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
