new to me adrian

[kotkinjs1]

Hello all,
I've recently become the proud owner of an M1915 Adrian. Still has original 1st pattern liner. I'd like to determine the maker although I believe from comparisons online it was produced by Le jouet de Paris. I'll need to remove the liner to get to the stamp which should be underneath near the top, correct? Before I go in uninformed I'd like to see if anyone can walk me though it? I don't want to damage any 100 year old dry, brittle leather.
Thanks!

ok, got the liner out. A size B1/57. Seems to be in the Le Jouet de Paris format but it should have the whole name stamped just above that? Maybe it didn't take on this particular helmet because of the location of stamping, right on top of the split rivets.

Hi Oskar,
Sure, sorry!
