Hi,New member here.
I found what looks like a 1917 Dough boy helmet at a flea market. It meets all of the criteria as correct although the suspension is missing.It has the band around the edge, rivet on top with felt type pad under it inside the helmet.2 side rivets with the trace of the missing bails on the metal. The only problem is that this helmet has what seems to be a 4 rivet suspension.That is there's a rivet on the front and rear too. I was wondering if this was converted to an industrial hard hat by some company taking advantage of surplus Brodie helmets. For $5.00 I had to get it. What do you guys think it is?

Thanks,
Tony
