WWI British Brodie Mk I Steel Helmet – Named “P. Gilbert” – Original Liner Sights: Correct open sightsOffered here is an original World War I British Brodie Mark I steel helmet, complete with its period liner and leather chinstrap.

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.
