France Brass helmet (˜1885)
In this collection since: 28.03.2017
0906 Fire helmet from France. The brass helmet dates from 1885. The helmet for firefighters was worn by the fire department of the city of Paris. The helmet is predecessor of the helmet number 0579, France. He is essentially the same. A striking difference is the attachment of the helmet crest. While the comb is attached to the successor with two screws from the inside, the comb is here screwed with 8 screws from the outside. The inner helmet made of leather is not available. The special feature of this helmet is the badge on the front. The badge corresponds to the badges of this time, but has the coat of arms of the city Paris in the blazon instead of the usual grenade. On the banderole above the coat of arms is the motto of the city "Fluctuat nec mergiture". In helmet number 0579, France is written at this point "Sapeurs Pompiers de Paris".
