BalkanCollector Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Looks great! Can you tell us more about it? According to your signature I guess it's from Belgian Congo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuka f Posted August 25, 2017 Author Share Posted August 25, 2017 Hey BalkanCollector, it is not in any way related to Belgian Congo. It is one of the rarest WWI "experimental helmets; the Belgian Queen Elisabeth helmet. Between 1,000 and 1,200 were produced by Joseph Sankey & Sons. Designed by a Beglian physician who wanted to reduce the eye's injuries. It is the first one I ever knew for sale, and jumped on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
