Finally after a long researching, I can be able to find and catching another american WW1 experimental helmet: the socalled Liberty Bell.

Nice. Funny that it looks like the British/Canadian "turtle" helmet introduced for D Day. Wonder if they copied it?

A picture of mine beside the standard Canadian Brodie. And without the net.

You are right. The resemblance is so evident.

Hi,
there was a lot of experimental helmets - see examples on the following catalog link:
Dean Bashford: "Helmets and body armor in modern warfare" (1920)
