I've been building up a British infantry impression and have found it hard to find a tommy helmet (or brodie helmet if you prefer), does anyone know where i can one for a reasonable price?

I bought mine at a memorabilia show for $35 a few months ago. I was at a surplus store last week and I found one for $30.

be careful of IMA. I got one their slings for my garand and its crap. Also, author Jonathon Gawne ordered one of their US 81mm mortars and got sent a spanish mortar instead. From what I heard, they wouldnt do anything for him. He used to frequent the forum at militariacollecting.com

I agree, I do have mixed feelings with them now. They sent me the wrong helmet, I ordered a US GI style ww2 helmet, they sent me a vietnam trianer helmet (orange, plastic liner). They sent me the correct helmet with no extra charge, but it was kind of upsetting. And now my hlemet smells like some guy croaked over in it. It smells horrible!

I got real steel Grease gun magazines from them to use as shells for my thompson low cap innards so I could have some spare magazines for Schmittys old AEG Greaser. They came quickly and were exactly as expected at a very good price. Sorry for the highjack of this discussion on Tommy helmets but I just wanted to say I've been happy with IMA.
