WW1 BRITISH STEEL HELMET COMPLETE & ORIGINAL

A WW1 British Steel helmet in super condition. It has the original period factory (lightly textured) paint which shows age & wear, please see pics.

Stamped on the underside rim is H. V 550, the H standing for Hutton & Sons Ltd of Sheffield (manufacturers), & the V for Vickers Ltd, also of Sheffield, the steel suppliers.

(The numbers referring to the'batch' used). There are no dents to the shell. The liner is in excellent condition & has the standard red Brodie stamping on the inside. The felt oval cushion to the crown has the rubber'doughnut' underneath making this the later pattern.

It still retains a large part of the very seldom found (very fragile) paper instruction label at the crown. There is no mothing to the felt. The size stamp to the leather liner strap is "7", (just seen in pic 9). The chinstrap is all good & strong however does have a small repair at one point, (last two pics). A very fine British helmet.
