This helmet was sent to me today from France.
I was told 10 years ago my uncle had an old WWI German Pickelhaube stashed away and one day I could have it.
At least 3 people had seen it and said it was WWI German etc…
So in my mind it was and I forgot about it.

Well it’s not, ha ha.
The most confusing package I have ever received.

So, I’m looking at it and I’m thinking it’s Pre-WWII. It’s not WWI right? Late 30’s?
It’s French Artillery.

It’s a pleasant surprise but I’ve been studying Pickelhaube… ha ha.

Can someone please help me I.D it or send a link?

If it’s WWII, it’s in terrible condition and might’ve been dropped soon after the Germans invaded?

Cheers,
