  • Original Item: This was the final steel helmet used by the French army. It was developed in the 1970s and used throughout the 1980s and 1990s. Both the Army and Gendarmerie Mobile, a division of the Gendarmerie used to secure public order under any circumstances, used the French Model 1978 F1.


    This version has a glossy blue finish and features a gold "RF" (Republic Francaise) flaming grenade badge on the front. The interior usually includes a manufacture stamp, which can be faded. Each helmet comes complete with full liner and chinstrap assembly. Please note that there were several manufactures, so chinstrap and liner style may differ significantly from the pictured example. Lightly used, but can have dents and scratches from service.
