ZE59 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I have a Brodie helmet of unknown origin with an interesting insignia. The insignia is what appears to be a red warrior on a white background with 101 printed above it. The stamping on the helmet is ZE59. Does anyone have ideas?? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leon21 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 The helmet is an American WW1 made M1917 Brodie, these helmets were used up to and during the early part of WW2. The insignia is most likely of an American unit. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
