This looks surprisingly like the one in the pic you submitted as you appearing a colonial. Is this the same one? Please advise. Niv

@ oggy
Yep, the para lizzard suits are repros. Nice jacket that you've got!

@niv
I doubt that these are colonial ones.

My has just the red piping without the red top.
And usually they have the anchor fixed already. Have a look at ebay #200265703942.

The main colour is dark blue. The first one I got was black with red piping. I've no clue what that means.
I think these without the anchors are from the fire brigade. (?)

With best regards, Turner

Calots et Bonnet du Police

I was always under the impression that the Legion used the dk blue w/red top as well as the green w/red top. I've got an awesome Indochine theatre made Green Legion w. red top calot with nice silk lining!!!!!

As far as I know the legion did not like the bonnets de police too much.
For the colonial infantry the ebay-dealer has also different models. I don't know if the issue dates are right, but have a look:

Calot mle 1949 : Troupes Coloniales

Calot mle 1957 : Infanterie Coloniale

À bientot, Turner
