Adrian Helmet ID

[Flakfire]

Hello everyone,

I spent about two hours the other day trying to track down information about this helmet I recently acquired. The nearest I can tell, it's a 1926 model.

I have not been able to find info about the badge or the color scheme. If anyone has any ideas for me, please let me know. Also, if you know any websites will extensive information on helmets (aside from quanonline) please let me know.

Thanks for your help.

Paint for M26 Adrian

This is my first post, so pardon me if I not going to the right thread. I recently acquired a M26 Adrian and it needs repainting. I understand the correct color is vert kaki francais 1926. I cant find any sources that have it in stock especially in the US. Does anyone know an equivalent color ? Thanks

this WWII Japanese helmet with brownish color paint looks similar to a early WWII French M26 paint color Ive seen on helmets used by Colonial troops in Africa

It should be a bit darker but we are not that far away ...

This is a French mdl 1926 helmet with infantry badge on the front. The color sheme (red and white/yellow) is rather strange, and I have no idea what it corresponds to. Perhaps something medical?
