**Rare** WW1 Serbian Adrian Steel Helmet

Probably one of , if not, THE RAREST Adrian helmets from the Great War !
The French Government supplied their famous Adrian helmets to many foreign governments and organisations ,one of the very rarest contacts of helmets were those supplied to the Army of Serbia . This is in all respects a textbook factory helmet fitted with the Serbian specific frontal plate insignia . The plate/badge has the correct low profile fit and level of detail ,being made in a quite thin and and tight fitting stamping . All paint finish is factory applied and an exact match between badge and shell .There is an excellent and mellow patina with a few areas of rubbing ,chipping and light well oxidized dark russet rust .The liner system is the rarer one piece type in a brown sheepskin hide .There are two alloy spacers to each temple area with a good tight fitting dark blue wool headband and no broken fitting blades . The chinstrap is good and supple with verdigris to the brass rivet . An exceptionally rare item of WW1 headgear .
