The M15 was the first steel helmet, designed and built to service French soldiers who died of head injuries from shrapnel bombs in World War I. They were manufactured in 4 parts, welded and riveted by hand, which means that in many cases they were not assembled symmetrically. Like the M15, the M16, M26 and M33 models do not have parallel chin slits (photo 10) to prevent soldiers from being strangled/drowned by the helmet.
