British Brodie Helmet Chin Strap, taken from a bundle of 50 dated “2 November 1941, Merriweather”. This is an original Second World War British Army helmet chin strap intended for use with the Mk II Brodie helmet and associated wartime British steel helmet patterns. The chin strap forms an important component of the British military steel helmet system, securing the helmet while allowing the wearer to adjust the fit during field use.
British Brodie helmets were widely issued throughout the Second World War to personnel of the British Army and other services, as well as to Commonwealth and Allied forces using British-pattern equipment. Original wartime chin straps are of interest to collectors seeking to complete or restore period British steel helmets and are also useful as individual examples of WWII British webbing and personal equipment.
This original WWII-manufactured chin strap is particularly suitable for collectors of British Army helmets, Brodie helmets, WWII militaria, British webbing equipment and wartime uniform accessories. It can be used alongside an appropriate period helmet where replacement or restoration of missing equipment is required.
