American Brodie

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

Welcome to the forum Tony, possibly repaired in the field hence the rough finish on the rivets?

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.

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.
