BritishHelmets Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Guys, this is what I believe to be an original WW1 (possibly Officers private purchase?) Brodie. The liner is intact and modified (hence the private purchase), it has a red oblong stamp inside the liner and split pin rivet attachments for the chinstrap rings. Sadly it lacks a chinstrap. There is no rust on it. What do you think guys? Sadly I think I am going to have to sell it soon so though I would share it with you and get your opinions before it goes!

ashley Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 looks like a nice helmet :thumbsup: ...................but be warned i was once told by a collector that British helmets of this era were padded out with a material which we know to day as asbestos so watch out for any crumbly dust like particles.
