Unusual Brodie Helmet Stamp?

[dutchbarge]

I have a Brodie helmet that presents as an ordinary example except for the interior rim stamp.  The stamp reads "BURYS" above "D/08" above a reclining lion. I assume the helmet was manufactured by Bury's & Co Ltd of Sheffield, but all of their helmetsthat  I have encountered have been stamped with a simple"B".  Is this an earlier example made before the began using a simple "B"?  Can any of the members shed some light on this stamp?  Cheers, Bill

Hi Bill,

 

I have seen this marking on a tank splatter mask. The leather was missing from the mask, but stamped on the inside above the nose section was BURYS and the reclining lion logo.

 

I guess they also produced helmets as well as tank splatter masks.

 

Cheers,

Mark

Is this stamp WW1 vintage or post war?  Cheers, Bill

Hi Bill

Could you post pictures of the interior and exterior of the helmet and I'll see if I can help on the dating of it.

As it has the Bury's mark above the D/08 mark for Dixons I am very sure it is Great War.
