Item Description
Original Item. Only One Available. The French Red Cross (French: Croix-Rouge française), or the CRF, is the national Red Cross Society in France founded in 1864 and originally known as the Société française de secours aux blessés militaires (SSBM). Recognized as a public utility since 1945, the French Red Cross is one of the 191 national societies of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. It has more than 62,000 volunteers and 17,000 employees. Its network consists of 1,062 local offices, 108 departmental and territorial delegations and 634 social, medico-social and health establishments throughout France, including the overseas departments and territories.
This is a gorgeous M1926 French Helmet which was painted during World War II for use by the French Red Cross, or Croix-Rouge française, abbreviated as C.R.F. as is painted on the front of the helmet. The helmet has been completely painted in white with a Red Cross on the front under the letters C.R.F., and the helmet has developed a lovely patina that has turned some of the white into beige.
The helmet has a recently-replaced liner and chinstrap which do have a nice look to them, and the chinstrap sits fine atop the brim.
A really great painted helmet, ready for further research and display.
