FOOT GENDARMES' HELMET, model 1912, Third Republic. 33879R
The helmet, made of a single piece of brass sheet, features three vent holes at the top, and is marked on the back with the manufacturer's name "B. FRANCK et SES FILS / AUBERVILLIER", "A", "59". The brass visor has a nickel silver edge folded over the outer border. The nape cover matches the visor. The nickel silver headband is stamped with a flaming grenade surrounded by laurel leaves adhering to the dome.
Each chinstrap consists of 15 alternating three or two scalloped nickel silver scales, decreasing in width from the top. The chinstrap on the right end is finished with a small nickel silver loop, while the left chinstrap has a similar D-shaped nickel silver loop with a black varnished calf leather strap. The top scale of each chinstrap is punched with an "A" and embossed with a single-piece circular rosette (diameter 4.9 cm) depicting a lion's head framed by a triple rod, the central one being beaded.
The helmet is topped with a reconstituted nickel silver crest composed of two fins and a nickel silver mask. The fins have a convex curved triangular shape at the top, connecting to the dome with a concave base forming a scalloped edge. The fins are adorned with acanthus leaves, palmettes, and a molding with two laurel branches centered with a palmette; the edge is decorated with water leaves and secured to the dome with two screws, all embossed in relief. The mask is embossed with a relief head of Medusa.
The mane consists of black-dyed cut horsehair, 41 cm long, and 6 cm high at its highest point, mounted on a cowhide leather base. The brass square-section plume holder, slightly tapering downwards, has a height of 3.4 cm.
The interior lining consists of a turban and a cap. The black waxed leather inner cap is cut into seven "loup" teeth.
