WWII British Brodie Helmet by Austin Motors

This is a very rare WWII British made Brodie MKII helmet. The maker is AMC 1941 = Austin Motor Co Ltd Cowley who only made this model for one year - 1941, and are considered to be one of, if not the rarest British manufacturer of this helmet! The liner is marked with the initials SNL = S.E.Norris Ltd. Dagenham and is dated 1940. The painted finish is original. We believe the black ring of paint is the imprint from the liner of another helmet that was being stored on top of it.
