Is there a wise old man (who knows what I don't) here?
Article about: Good afternoon gents, Annoyed from this ads? I need help (don't we all!) in identifying this helmet. I took a punt on it as it was not expensive and I was sure I have seen one before

interesting helmet - what is the outer shell made of ? fiberglass resin ?
-
I believe it is steel but must admit I didn't ask that specific question so I won't know the answer till I receive it in the next day or so. It was just one of those "Oh, I recognise that" moments and a buy or don't buy decision. As you say it is interesting if nothing else!

The front snaps on the peak are interesting - possibly for goggles ?
indeed - very interesting item
-
Yep that's what I thought and the design is very similar to that of the british despatch rider helmet but whilst it was widely used by british and canadian motorcyclists including the MP and there are many period photographs the only US military motorcyclists I can find pictures of are wearing the M1.

I have a similar helmet (with the leather visor and straps) which I bought from a man who said that his father used it for auto racing in the 1950s. Mine is fiberglass, though, and appears a bit more recent.

What company is marked on the press studs ? may help with the ID
-
I think its a motor racing helmet from the 50s.
