France, French Campaign, May–June 1940. Model 26 troop helmet with a curious artillery insignia made of printed canvas. The shell retains 95% of its original factory-applied khaki-brown paint; the crest is made of duralumin (pre-war production, 1938). Manufacturer’s mark inside the helmet: “FRANCK,” size D. The mounting holes for a front insignia are present. The front of the helmet features a curious, round (5 cm diameter), red, printed canvas insignia that has been glued on, bearing a yellow flaming grenade and the inscription “*ARTILLERIE*.” The insignia appears to have been affixed a very long time ago. Classic two-piece black leather liner and a brown leather chin strap in the standard style, showing wear. Complete. Worn. (The exterior of the helmet is dirty, with minor dents; the chin strap is worn and has been repaired with a small missing section. Fairly good condition.)
