UK Replacement Liner for WWI Brodie Steel Helmet

This is a reproduction liner for the Mk I Brodie Helmet. It was used by British, Commonwealth, and US forces during World War I. The liner is designed to match the appearance and components of original WW1 era Brodie liners. It is a good match for vintage 1917 British-made helmets and Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF) helmets.

The chinstrap appears to be made of a faux leather material. It has a coloured coating on the outside that prevents leather dressing from soaking through. Some liners ship with a chinstrap that is described as "kooky" or having an "awful" colour.

The liner is a high-quality reproduction in terms of aesthetics and matches WW1 era Brodie liners in appearance and components. It includes fine details such as a white tag with printed adjustment instructions. The construction is accurate, and it looks like detailed photos of original liners.

The liner does not consistently come with instructions on how to install it into the helmet shell. Some liners ship without instructions, which can make setting the copper rivet challenging. Instructions on how to fit the liner into the helmet shell are available on request.

The liner includes a chinstrap and an attaching rivet. Some liners also ship with three pieces of brass hardware, though their purpose and fitting location are not always clear. The liner is a kit that requires some assembly.

The liner is designed to fit genuine WW1 Brodie helmet shells. It has been successfully installed in a genuine WW1 Brodie shell from the 10th Battalion, Canadian Expeditionary Force. It also fits a vintage 1917 British-made helmet.
