Description

The first delivery of the Brodie to British Army troops took place in September 1915, at the rate of 50 per battalion. Initially, there were far from enough helmets to equip every man, so they were designated as "trench stores", to be kept in the front line and used by each unit that occupied the sector. From 1936, the Mark I helmet was fitted with an improved liner and an elasticated, sprung webbing chin strap. This final variant served until late 1940, when it was superseded by the slightly modified Mk II. This example is dated 1939 and has the ‘I’ to signify Mark I with the manufacturers name RO & CO (Rubery Owen & Co Ltd of Leeds who manufactured helmets between 1939 and 1943) to the underside of the rim*see images*. The rim has no holes drilled into it which is scarce. The liner is fully intact with the elasticated webbing chinstrap and in excellent condition. The internal frame is marked; 7 VERO I 1938. The helmet still carries the majority of the military paint colour throughout. The price includes UK delivery. HE 848.
