Guest Rodman Posted 8 January , 2006 Share Posted 8 January , 2006 I purchased this helmet from a guy in Belgium but cannot find the unit/division marking anywhere. It looks like an English helmet but I may be wrong. It is defintely WW1, i'm told. It is a little obscured, the closeest I found was the South African emblem but does'nt really match. Also, the brass rivets (see picture) I am also told are quite unusual. Any info or other places I should try would be appreciated. Reiner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krithia Posted 8 January , 2006 Share Posted 8 January , 2006 It looks a little like the tower from the 58th London Division. this was painted white, on the back of the helmet, and was suppose to represent the Tower of London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pte1643 Posted 8 January , 2006 Share Posted 8 January , 2006 Also, the brass rivets (see picture) I am also told are quite unusual. Aren't the rivets of a Brodie designed to "Sheer" off, if there is any danger that the strap may strangle the wearer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first thoughts, too, I have to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
