Not being schooled in Adrian helmets how do you tell a WWI helmet from a post war one ?

Good Morning everyone,

Having had a look at this thread, I thought I would like to show you my Adrian helmet. It's the only one I have and the only one I will ever want.

I always wanted to see what protection a helmet gave the soldier in the field under fire. Not a lot from what i have here. I actually wanted to try this on a German helmet, but just could not bring myself to do it. Unsurprisingly this helmet gets much more of a re-action than other helmets in the collection.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all.
D.

Whatever helmet you shoot in, it will make holes MAYBE a stahlhelm you have little more luck
JERSEY can you make pics from the inside of the helmet or do you have a thread on this one?
There are a lot of posibilities about what could happen with this helmet...

But you got right that these helmets are not very protective

As all helmets in that time the stahlhelm was the best...

Thanks for sharing that with me/ us

nice hollidays you to my friend
