[Gildwiller1918]

Berthiers are much easier to find, at least here is in the US, the Lebel's are the rare ones now, especially complete and in good shape.

I also just ordered the Lebel rifle barbed wire cutter bayonet attachment, dated 1915. Once it arrives I will post images, I have been after one of these for awhile.

 Now all you need is a piece of relic metal detector found Germany barb wire and a French WW I  helmet. I would add some WW I  dated cartridges

I do have a WW1 barbed wire post, with the 3 loops and pig tailed base, I also do have some barbed wire, spent cartridges as well as several French helmets.
