Former French firefighter here, we still use those for ceremonial purposes, and when on guard duties (for those of us who are (were) military firefighters). I remember hating having to wear that thing for four hours, it weighed a ton and was very uncomfortable. Our operations helmets are way cooler, much lighter, and efficient. Great job at restoring it though, it looks like new! Sauver ou périr!

Quick question about the feathers/plume; was it just for style or something more practical, such as pulling it out and "if the feathers singed it was/wasnt safe to enter?" Just wondering, because I can't find anything on it. Thanks in advance!

What a beautiful restoration. Job well done, it came out excellent. I was thinking for banging out the large dents on the helmet, would it also be good to use a magnetic sphere and a steel ball to help smooth out the dents after it’s banged out a bit to lessen metal stretch. Using that method is like using a smaller version of an English Wheel.

Firefighters do an amazing job. I remember reading that in Japan fire brigades each had a standard bearer. It was considered an honor. When they arrived at a fire the bearer would place himself close to the fire. That would be the line drawn in the sand. If the fire got away from the brigade he was expected to stand there and die if necessary. If he ran he was disgraced. During the Second world war Japan couldn't acquire modern equipment so they had relics to work with. A very dangerous job for them. Must have had a high turnover for the position. But it was considered an honor so volunteers were probably willing to take it on.
