WWI British Brodie Mk I Steel Helmet – Named “P. Gilbert” – Original Liner a prominent Japanese instrument makerOffered here is an original World War I British Brodie Mark I steel helmet, complete with its period liner and leather chinstrap. Introduced in 1916, the Brodie helmet became the standard combat helmet of British and Commonwealth forces during the First World War. Its distinctive shallow dome and wide brim were designed to protect soldiers from falling shrapnel in trench warfare and quickly became one of the most recognizable helmets of the Great War.
