Rare WWI Brodie Helmet with Unit Insignia

A rare unit-marked WWI British Brodie pattern steel helmet. In dusty untouched condition, just as I acquired it. The exterior retains considerable areas of a relatively heavily-applied sand-textured light tan finish. To each side are pale green curved panels, reminiscent of cloth shoulder titles and suggestive perhaps of representing a Rifles unit. The shell is stamped HS 275, and while the liner is indeed dusty, it is actually in excellent condition, without the usual extensive moth damage and losses. An interesting example.
