That is an interesting helmet. It appears later than the Boer War. I almost wonder if it isn't a movie prop actually. The liner system seems similar to the Vero's Detachable Liner that was patented in 1922. The use of the foil is a headscratcher as that wasn't introduced until later. Highly unusual to say the least, but I'm not seeing a British Boer War or earlier helmet. So my guess would be bandsman helmet or something from the 1930s or a movie prop. There were a bunch of movies made in the 1930s including The Four Feathers, Gunga Din, etc.Comment

Hi Peter thank you I think it could possibly come from a movie, when I get it I hope to find some sort of makers mark. Gungadin used US piths and Four feathers a different type, just got to go through the other 800 pith helmet wearing films. RobGod please take justin bieber and gave us dio backComment

Similar Jacques but not right as you say. I’m sure UK owes you some sort of reparation, you should join everyone else and put a claim in.
