Hi Bavarian, your pictures are a little unclear but it appears to be MKI brodie helmet manufactured by • FS Thomas Firth and Sons, sept. 1915-1919. It's interesting to see the "FIRTH" name stamped near the FS marking. The narrow bails used to secure the chinstrap indicate that it was manufactured without a rim as opposed to a helmet where the rim has fallen off. Better pictures would be helpful
cheers

As already stated, it does appear to be an early rimless example, a great pickup.

Whatever
its just an opinion.

Hallo
Thanks
I am found it on ebay kleinanzeigen and bought it for 100€ include delivery
I think it was a great deal ,because there were a extreme low amount of british and US WW1 helmets in germany and there were very hard to find and import one from the US is extreme expensive
I hope to post next week my in germany found complete M1917 Doughboy helmet that will delivered next week
Thank for the comment
Best regards
Bavarian

This is a very early British steel helmet, of the type in use during the Somme battle in 1916. You can tell that from the narrow plates that secure the chinstrap loops. Beautiful shape! I call that a nice find.
