Adrian Helmets ? Military ? Help needed

Featured Replies

#1

   I just found these two Adrian ??? Helmets in a Barrel that was
stored for about 40 years :) I have no experience with these
and curious to the country of origin and if Military on either of them.

  From my limited knowledge and quick research I have not been able
to pin down much info on either.
The Only thing close I can find for the Brass one are French Fire Brigade helmets ? BUT really have
no idea
  The other one Is very Light weight and is covered in a Faux Leather Material
you can see were some has worn through on the front bill.
Looks to be Belgian, with the Lion buttons BUT cant find any
other examples with buttons on the side like this one.
Also Curious about the Shield  OR what it represents
 

Are either of these Military
I am leaning towards both being Fire Brigade Helmets

Any Info or insight will be Greatly appreciated

  Thanks very much for this, Its awesome to have a resource like this forum, these have been in a barrel since the mid 70s 
collected in the late 60s early 70s and never did know anything about them except they looked old and Maybe military :)

THANKS to Both responders
