WW1 Belgian M15 Adrian Helmet

A rare WW1 Belgian M15 Adrian helmet coming complete with original chinstrap & original lions head badge to front.
By October 1915 the French began delivery of the first Adrian helmets to its allies , approximately 210,000 helmets had been delivered to the Belgians by the end of 1916.
This magnificent example is in excellent condition with badge firm to the helmet & a very high percentage of its original brown paint remaining. Various shades of brown & other paint finishes may be encountered on the Belgian issues , this helmet still retains its original first factory issue paint throughout. The liner is of post 1916 multi construction complete with all intact tongues . The often missing brown leather chinstrap is in impressively good condition with adjustment buckle intact.
A superb example of the Belgian Adrian helmet & one that has become very hard to find now.
