A very nice early issue M15 Adrian. This piece predates 1916 as it is still in its light blue factory paint & with one piece liner. Both paint finish & liner were changed in 1916. Many Adrian helmets can be found with various minor personalisations & field expedients such as here where the chinstrap from a kepi has been period fitted . Both ends of the kepi strap have been stitched onto the chinstrap lugs with the tightening system remaining intact. A small period affixed label bearing the numbers '473' can be seen to one of the liner tongues this being , typically, the last three digits of his army number. Drawstring is still present to liner. A well used helmet there are several small dents to the exterior of the shell with an impact dent to the rear which appears to have come from a shell fragment or low calibre round fired at long range. The lack of rivets to the side skirt of the helmet indicates one produced by the firm 'JAPY' . A very good untouched piece.
