HELMETS!
The New Helmets are Here! (ok, they never really came from somewhere else, I just have
them in stock now!) These are 100%
Reproduction steel helmets made in the
m17 American Doughboy Helmet
This is our premier American Doughboy helmet with a
Collector Grade liner and chinstrap.
The shell is stamped steel with a separate rolled rim,
sand finish and brass bails. The liner is our new
Collector Grade
m17 American liner.
This liner has the original 1910 SAE Mil-Spec Wool Top Pad and Wool
Crown along with user friendly oilcloth
No tar, no mess on your head and won’t cause some lab rat in California to come
down with cancer!
This is as close and you can get to the real deal without a time machine.
Made with our usual high quality netting and veg
tanned leather bumper ring and chinstrap.
All in all this helmet
is the perfect reproduction both to fill out a collection
or take to the field and use.

WWI First Pattern Rimless British Brodie
The original rimless Brodie shell with the first pattern liner. This shell is
painted dark blue/green
and has the six fingered liner in “American Cloth” (oil
cloth) and the wool skull cap of the early design. Oil cloth is user friendly
and the wool is milspec 1910
pattern mustard color. This was a poor
liner to begin with and still is, however we have
“tweaked” the design a little
bit so the rivet (the only thing that holds this liner in the shell!) will not
pull
through the wool as was the case in the original
version. Here’s your chance to own one
of the rarest
helmets from WWI and fill in the gap in your collection or
portray early war British.

WWI
WWI American or British shell (your choice) with
sitting EGA (Eagle Globe and Anchor) mounted two
fingers above the rim.
This helmet is exact in every respect to the originals, right down to
the
nut on the back of the EGA and the punched hole in the
shell. Early model
bronze EGA. You can choose
from either the British model shell with split rivet bails
(as used by the first Marines to go “Over There” or the later
model American shell with the domed rivets attaching the
bails. Either shell is period correct.

This is the same shell as our WWI
Standing EGA or the Devil Dog
insignia. I have seen one original shell with the Devil
Dog insignia and liked it
so much I decided to include it in the catalog. I can’t verify that this helmet ever saw any
kind of service but the age was right and the bulldog has
the right amount of attitude. As for the
standing
EGA, this is a post WWI variation and was used in
or British type shell, your choice.

China Marines Soochow Creek
Helmet
This is our most sought after helmet. It is the “shiny” version of the 1927 model
Kelley Transitional Helmet with a
Theater made version of the EGA in Antique Bronze with
German Silver rope over the fouled anchor. After the
Russian Revolution in 1917 many of the jewelers from
Faberge escaped to
an original and even has the Chinese hallmarks on the
back of the eagles wings. (those symbols spell out
“Prairie Flower Leather Company” but only you have to
know that!) PFLCO was commissioned by
the United
States Marine Corp to manufacture a number of these EGA’s to be given out to soldiers of the
1st Battalion 4th Marines “in
order to recognize outstanding leadership shown by a Marine within
the battalion who is the embodiment of Marine Corps’ core
values and leadership traits and principles”.
An incredibly rare helmet at a
more than reasonable cost.
