Product Details

Original Item: Only One Available. 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.

The shell is maker marked with a stamping on the underside of the rim that reads FS 85, it is partially obscured under the heavy green paint and can be difficult to read. The split rivets and heat lot number indicate that this helmet shell was produced in Britain. FS stands for Thomas Firth & Sons Ltd of Sheffield who produced helmets from 1916 to 1918.

The paint is in very good condition both inside and outside the helmet, with the expected wear from service.

The liner is also in quite nice shape, with a very good oil cloth liner, and the top felt pad is still present, though worn 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.

This is a wonderful example of a mid war produced British MkI Brodie Helmet. Comes more than ready for display.
