biffrocks Posted 23 July , 2008 Share Posted 23 July , 2008 Hi All I had been trying to do some rearch on the WW1 helmet I brought a while ago from an antiques fair (photos attached) and I found a magazine at a car boot sale last weekend with the following details on the Manafacturers for the Sheffield Munitions Committee. Mine has the letters HV on the inside of the rim so I know from the article that it is made by W Hutton & Sons with the steel provided by Vickers. I hope this info in the article which I have attached (unfortunately on it's side) is usefull to another novice like myslef and this info may be readily available but I thought I would post it in case someone else found it usefull.

I stated I was a novice at all this as you can see from my status.I just wanted to add something that may help someone else as people have helped me on the forum and from the person who has added a comment before you they have been helped by my post. I shall be far more mindfull before I post again to ensure there is no duplication. Thanks for your help and friendly comments, nice to be made welcome and not to be made to look stupid!!!!!!
