Brodie style "Card Board Adult"Helmet


Douglas Lee

Recommended Posts

My grandad had gave me this helmet (Adult Size ,Brodie Style) back in early 70's. The helmet is made of hard card board and still has original headliner with exception of head strap. I had made a leather head strap years ago (see pics). Over the years age of helmet and a teenager have not helped but that considered it is still in good shape. I have been told during war years their was not enough steel so they made this cardboard helmet for a short time. I think this may be WW1. May be willing to sell if right. Please feel free to drop me a note if you have any questions. Doug
