Scott Mle1902-05 burgonet

3rd model, manufactured c.1905 as a prototype for a new French military uniform.
Burnished sheet steel, brass ventilated comb, brass trim, crest and jugular plates, leather cockades.
That is without a doubt the most patriotic helmet that could have been adopted in WW1. Georges Scott, much like Edouard Detaille, was a military illustrator hired by the government to produce new uniform designs in the 1900′s. The trials would culminate in 1912-13 but with no conclusive results until 1915, during the war.

I like that it retains the 1873 helmet plate & chin scales.
