French WWII pith helmet in blue? Or Luftwaffe pith helmet made in France?

French pith helmet in blue ..

10 - 15 years ago a bunch of these showed up, think Weitze had quite a few those days, they didn't have any insignia, all were added later.

Agree French made sunhelmet with postwar fake insignia added. First thought to be rare but now are more common, still nice helmet though.

Insignia added for sure, The material used on this Pith Helmet is Far from the German made ones, Also the Luftwaffe Blue are extremely Rare !!! The Rare'st of all German pith helmets.

Both are French made. Yours has fake insiginia & was not used by the Germans in WWII. Remember what they say about dealers....even Bill

Agree with Mike the LW German made blue tropenhelms are the most desirable.
