French Police Surplus Helmet with Leather Liner, Used

 
4.6 out of 5 star rating (8 reviews)
While generally considered among the most peaceful nations in Europe, France did see its share of civil unrest in the 70s and 80s, including the "rodeo" riots in the summer of 1981. Police responding to incidents of violence during these tumultuous times were likely wearing helmets like these. Each of these has clearly seen action on the streets, as evidenced by various marks, dings and scratches. Makes a unique addition to your collection of police or militaria gear.
