This is a lovely example of the scarce WWI British MkI Brodie helmet, which was also the same type that was issued to American forces in the beginning of the US involvement during The Great War.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shell is maker marked but due to the thick coat of the textured paint that was applied it is no longer visible. We can just barely make out what appears to be a \u003cstrong\u003eO\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe split rivets indicate that this helmet shell was produced in Britain. The paint is in very good condition both inside and outside the helmet, with the expected wear from service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe liner is also in quite nice shape, with a very good oil cloth liner, and the top felt pad is still present, in excellent condition and has the correct rubber “donut” underneath. The chin strap is intact and does not have any major cracks or tears. The leather is however somewhat stained and delicate, so definitely handle with care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a wonderful example of a mid war produced British MkI Brodie Helmet. Comes more than ready for display.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Original Items","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40398022869061,"sku":"ONJR22OAS027","price":295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1524\/1342\/products\/ONJR22OAS027__01.jpg?v=1666290630","url":"https:\/\/www.ima-usa.com\/products\/original-british-wwi-mk-1-brodie-helmet-with-textured-paint-complete","provider":"International Military Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
