Ww1 British Army 2nd Pattern Brodie Helmet + Later Orig. Replacement Chin Strap

An Original WW1 British 2nd Pattern Brodie Combat Helmet & Liner With Original Later Replacement Chin Strap. The Brodie helmet was a steel combat helmet designed and patented in 1915 by Englishman John Leopold Brodie. Brodie's design had a shallow circular crown with a wide brim around the edge, a leather liner, and a leather chinstrap.

The helmet's "soup bowl" shape was designed to protect the wearer's head and shoulders from shrapnel shell projectiles bursting from above the trenches. The design allowed the use of relatively thick steel that could be formed in a single pressing while maintaining the helmet's thickness. This WW1 Brodie helmet has the MK II'turned rim edge' (earlier MK 1 Brodies had a raw edge) and has it's original, untouched, oil cloth liner. It is fitted with a later, original elasticated canvas chin strap. It has the correct chin strap bales secured by split pins and rivet at the crown.

The inside rim of the helmet is stamped with what looks to be "78 49". The helmet is in its original condition and finish.
