WW1 British Brodie Welsh Guards Marked Steel Helmet

A fine example of a regimentally marked Mk1 Steel Helmet with insignia of the Welsh Guards painted to the front . Only a small handful of similar examples are known in collections and all show an off white rendition of this regiments proud leak device badge .In each case the insignia painting looks to have been very skilfully carried out (please see close up images ). Natural age patina is very evident when closely examined. Helmet itself is a typical late MK1 helmet complete with a naturally patinated over time factory finish with full chinstrap system , felt pad with rubber "doughnut" padding to the interior . The shell is HV , Hutton Vickers marked and therefore has the subtle variation of having slightly downwardly curved skirts from pressing during the manufacturing process.
