COIFFURES. Modified 1933 model Gendarmerie motorcycle helmet - Lot 302
COIFFURES. Modified 1933 model Gendarmerie motorcycle helmet in black lacquered aluminum, decorated on the front with a flaming grenade with a Lorraine cross in the center, all surrounded by 5 stars, brown leather cap with bavolets. ABE This helmet has been period-modified by removing the visor and fitting a black leather bead similar to the 1935 model helmets worn by armored troops. The insignia designates the escort troops of the Commander-in-Chief of French forces in Germany. The presence of the Lorraine cross and 5 stars suggests that this was the escort of General de Lattre de Tassigny, the only 5-starred army general to have been given command of the FFA in 1945.
