![]() The truth of the matter is the helmets are different. It may be tempting for some to say because the two types of helmets look so similar they are the same. This dilemma seems to become particularly problematic for the British reenactors who after spending hundred of dollars on their kit accidentally purchase an American helmet because they don’t know the difference, or for collectors who want one or the other represented in their collection. Yet more often than not the seller has no idea if the helmet is actually of British or American manufacture, and the buyer has no idea either. ![]() ![]() The seller’s description may read, “American WWI helmet” or “British WWI helmet”. A soup dish style helmet from the Great War, offered for sale is labeled incorrectly. Whether it be a small antique shop, militaria show or even an online auction.
