Thanks Guy.

Wish I could help, but out of my knowledge.... Good luck.

My pleasure. But I'll have to decieve you. I got this one "cheap", because the liner and chinstrap are missing....

Hey Simon, the helmet have been developed by the Belgian doctor Weekers, specialized in ophthalmology, and financed by Queen Elisabeth (the Belgian one!). It was ment to protect the entyre head (and eyes in particular) in a better way, and still be able to see the enemy. By 1915 no more then probably 1000 where distributed. The Americans had a more or less similar helmet, at that periode.

Thise nice fellow came allong. On my list since I was 13 years old.... I am using the sellers pic here, if all goes well I should have it by the end of the summer holliday.

+1!

Strange coincidence; my ex was half Hungarian....thanks for your input.

Just happened to me... Remember last year I got a medal; Well today I got the medal's box! Here is the lot the box came with; All medals must have belonged to Baron Isidoor Opsomer and probably came from the house clearing of his son Walter Opsomer. I regret now not have bought the other medals, but the origin, is never given on that sort of auctions.... This was the man; https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isidore_Opsomer Sorry not available in English....

And a total waste of time for all members giving a answer on that particular helmet.
