Thewarmate Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Hi all, I recently bought this brodie helmet and was wondering if it was identifiable? I have looked online but I haven't been able to find the G & C Liner mark. The only marking on the helmet is a faint letter N just above one of the strap clips. I believe the liner is dated 1942 f anyone can help that would be much appreciated Cheers 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leon21 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Welcome there looks to be part of another letter after the letter C, the only liner maker I can think of is A. Garstin & Co Ltd. The letter N could be part of the Steel Batch Lot Code, I've seen just N30 stamped on helmets before, you could try and rub around the letter N with fine wire wool or sandpaper to see if there is any numbers after the letter N. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the answer. I used sandpaper and it did reveal the letters RO.CO DN 1942 which after looking on this forum revealed that the liner was made by Rubery Owen & Co Ltd hopefully that's right haha. Thanks for the advice I would have never of thought of looking for more letters it was very interesting. Since both are dated 1942 I hope then the liner is original. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
