WW2 brodie helmet help!

[spitfirefan]

i have a brodie helmet, the liner is marked "W&LC 11 1941" i cant seem to find any info on this, any help would be appreciated.

W&LC is an unknown liner manufacturer, II is the type of liner, ie: MKII liner, and 1941 is the year of manufacture. It's not a "Brodie" helmet per-say, rather a the MKII is based on the Brodie.

what sort of value does an item like this have? the helmets paint is in rough shape and i believe original, it has the full liner and chin strap too, both in fairly rough shape.

W& LC made liners in 1941, but I don't know what the initials stand for. If you could post some pics that would help a lot with what you want to know.

its also got this funky arrow scratched in to it. the markings under the brim arent really legible although i think part says 1940, cant really get a good picture.

It's been repainted, has the wrong nut & bolt, & the chin strap is broken. The only good thing about it is the liner, as for price,£15-£20, but on ebay you might get lucky & it'll go for £30+

If you can look under the gobs of paint under the brim, you may find some stamped numbers/initials on it. Usually by the bales.
