A superb WW1 British Army helmet with its original coat of rough sand-textured paint which is mostly present & in great condition, please study photos. The shell is in very good condition with no dents. The underside brim is stamped with M. S 59, the stamping is for Miris Steel Co Ltd of London, (the steel suppliers).
The numbers refer to the batch of metal used. S stamp is very seldom seen. The nicely sized 7 liner is in extremely good condition with only one small moth nip. It still retains all of its original (fragile) paper instruction label at the crown which is very seldom found these-days. It is the very early pattern liner with no rubber'doughnut' under the felt.
The standard'Brodie' ink stamping is on the inside of the lining & is nice & clear. The leather chinstrap is in very good condition.
