TonyTheTortoise Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 I have a American Brodie helmet but the rivers look different then most that I’ve seen and they aren’t the British split pin. Does anybody know why 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leon21 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Welcome to the forum Tony, possibly repaired in the field hence the rough finish on the rivets? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leon21 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Looking at the helmets posted in the American Brodie section I've noticed that all YJ stamped helmets have the same flattened rivets as do helmets with the ZE stamps and some with the ( ZD stamps but not all ) so this is down to different Manufacturing methods of flattening the rivet ends in some Manufacturers than others by the looks of it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gildwiller1918 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 I agree with Leon, its probably a manufacturing issue. They were cranking these out as fast as they could, and I am sure the military did not mind. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
