AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Belgian Army Helmet Mle Adrian 1931 - complete with lion head badge, leather chinstrap, and inner leather liner - original paint.
The peculiarity of this one is that it comes from the south of France, the Toulouse region, where a batch of Belgian helmets was discovered in the attic of a farm that had been occupied by a group of Belgian soldiers who took refuge in France due to the German advance in 1940. The last photo shows the helmets during their discovery. The helmet for sale is the one located at the extreme right.
The helmet is 'attic juice' - it has only been cleaned on the outside. The leather has been softened, but I haven't disassembled anything.
Shipping via Mondial Relay with home delivery or by La Poste.
Possibility of sending to a relay point upon request.
