Description

IN THE LARGE SAIZE OF 7 1/8, WE HAVE A MUSUEM GRADE EXAMPLE OF THE US WW1 M1917 DOUGHBOY HELMET, ALSO REFFERED TO AS THE BRODIE HELMET AFTER ITS INVENTOR.  THIS HELMET IS THE BASIC BRITISH WW1 HELMET WITH SOME SLIGHT DIFFERENCES IN THE LINER AND THE SHELL, BUT THEY ARE VERY HARD TO TELL APART. YOU WILL NOTICE HOW SUPPLE THE OILCLOTH LINER STILL IS AND THE MAKERS MARK IS STILL VERY VISABLE. THESE HELMETS WHILE NOT ESPECIALLY RARE ARE NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND IN THIS TOP UN-ISSUED CONDITION. WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT, IN JUST TWO YEARS THIS HELMET WILL BE 100 YEARS OLD!
