Hi,
I picked up a Brodie helmet in an antique shop in the UK. It is in poor condition but I am a teacher and wanted to give my students something hands on to experience during our unit of study. I am trying to look further into this helmet and identify what country it is from and perhaps the manufacturer. The chin strap attachment points make me think it is American, based on what I have come across online, though I cannot seem to identify what is stamped beside the year. I have attached photos below but this is the stamping that I can make out:
"1938"
"970"
There is also a sicker of some sort that is wearing off that says a few words I cannot make out and then "London."
Painted on the front are the initials BGC.
Any information is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
