GI Joe goes French

I found this on Ebay: GI Joe disguised as a French Resistance Fighter, released in 1966.

The set is complete with:

• Nice C9 foreign head figure with beautiful head and eyebrow paint
• French Beret marked Hasbro Japan in C9 condition
• Turtleneck Sweater in C9+ condition
• Pants in C8.5 condition
• Lebel Revolver, shoulder holster, knife, grenades, radio set, 7,65 submachine gun all in C9 condition
• Original Croix de Gerre Medal in beautiful C9 condition

This overall a beautiful example of the French Resistance Fighter!

I have no idea what C9 and C8.5 stand for - I guess it means it's a well conserved play-boy.
