WWI Transitional Army

Here is one that I picked up but I am in the process of letting go! It is a Bell L, which I am a huge fan of. Liner is original to the helmet and has a name written on the liner and the skirt. Its a nice example. Enjoy!

I just noticed I may have posted in the wrong section, if I did I apologize.

Looks like the Bell L type was sold to Latvia, due of this type of helmets are most seen being worn by Latvian army in 1920-40's

[HelmChick]

What do you mean?

[Adrian Stevenson]

Dimas is saying the Latvian Army wore this makers version of the M16

Very nice example!

Cheers, Ade.

[Dimas]

Thanks Ade for explaining- due of the dust in the head in 2.00 AM
Again, a very nice helmet

[HelmChick]

Thanks for the compliments on the helmet and for clarification.
I had no idea they were produced in Latvia-collectors that I know had no idea who the maker was or where they were produced and I just learned something new here!!

[Adrian Stevenson]

No, these were SOLD to Latvia, not made there

Cheers, Ade.

haha! I wasnt paying attention!! Got it right this time though. Is it true the firm of Richard Lindenberg produced them in Westphallia?
I thought no one really knew any information on the Bells
