Thats pretty cool. My grandfather used to tell me stories about them using their steel helmets for cooking or sometimes soaking their toes in hot water. The worst was if you used your helmet for cooking and then you were starving, you could still smell the soup you made in the helmet. Of course his helmet was punctured several places by bombings. He got a total of 130 stitches in his head throughout the war. His friends called him 'Frankenstein' which wasn't as popular back then so he had no idea who that was and thought it was a German curse word.😊

It's WW1 as it has a raw edge. WW2 helmets had a stainless steel lip around the rim. Overall shape is slightly different too, for example the rim is wider at the side on a WW1 Brodie such as yours. You have fitted a WW2-style liner and chinstrap. Other than that oddity, a nice restoration.

So Special, I've wanted to have an old WW1 or WW2 helmet in my house. All of my family is either army, air force, navy, marine, police, doctor, nurse, secretary of state, and fire fighter. We all respect those who have fought for our country in every branch. This was a good restore.

Amazing to watch...and a skillful restoration...can't help thinking that this was a Great War Brodie rather than a WW2 version...but still...really well done when you see what it first looked like.

Cheers mate 👍 this old chaps a tad mistreated, though. As a kid in Manchester, you'd see these now and again as kitchenware with handles welded on or converted into hanging baskets. They made good chicken nests, too. This one looks like it has been under water a long while, buried, or in a damp garden shed. One of my relations came back with his helmet and service Webley after WW1. Somebody stole them mores the pity.

I did the exact same project back in the 90s. Used pretty much the same materials and techniques as you but mine wasn't rotted quite as far. I got lucky, I actually found the inner webbing for the helmet at a local military surplus shop. One thing that I would have done differently if I were you was to use the correct color which would have been olive drab. The best part about it was, I picked it up at a yard sale in Manchester Maryland for about $2 and the woman thought it was a hanging planted Potter.

@laurentdevaux5617 Жыл бұрын

Nice job indeed on the shell, but the result is by no means realistic. Since you found a Brodie helmet, why didn't you restore it as a ww1 Brodie ? More, the color is wrong and much too glossy, and the chinstrap was attached with rivets (split, for the original Brodie) and not with screws. You have a real talent, it's quite a pity you didn't use it better...
