Decent example of a WWI British made Brodie helmet manufactured by FS lot 96 - Thomas Firth and Sons. The liner is reasonably nice, the felt pad has some mothing. The chin strap is complete, but not exactly flexible (I would not feel comfortable playing with it much). There are some patches of surface rust. It is stamped Brodie's steel helmet on the inside of the liner. I did not feel comfortable peeling back the felt to look for a rubber doughnut, but I can clearly feel one though the felt so this would be a late WWI made helmet. This was likely issued to a doughboy and came home via that route. While this is not a perfect example, it hasn't been messed with by anyone but time.
