A fine WW1 British Army helmet with a coat of a smooth green/grey paint which is mostly present & in good condition, please study photos (shows age & wear). The shell is in very good condition with no dents. The underside brim is stamped with H. H O 181, the rarer stamping for Harrison Bros & Howson Ltd of Sheffield, (the helmet producers). The'O' is for Osborne & Co Ltd (the steel suppliers) also of Sheffield.
The numbers refer to the batch of metal used. The liner does not seem to have a size stamp, however, i would say it was about a size 6 3/4.
The liner is in very good used condition, however there is some slight mothing at the crown cushion , again please see pics. It is the very early pattern liner with no rubber'doughnut' under the felt. I do not see the usual'Brodie' ink stamping on the inside of the lining (perhaps faded or was never stamped).
The leather chinstrap is in very good condition with no repairs. A, Canada & most of rest of planet..... The item "WW1 BRITISH ARMY HELMET. COMPLETE & 100% ORIGINAL" is in sale since Saturday, September 24, 2016.
