The rim is stamped with the makers 'BMB' for Briggs Motor Bodies and dated 1939. A 1940 dated liner resides inside with a loose cross piece which sits in the dome. A sprung sided chin strap completes the helmet. Good condition overall displaying only slight surface wear. The Late Richard Archer Collection.
