As far as I know, virtually all Coolus helmets were brass or bronze. I only remember one iron one that Robinson mentions, and it's such a blob of rust that it could be almost anything...

That said, the center helmet in this photo is a Coolus C that I made from a Civil Defense helmet many years ago. Still have it, though we have enough good spares now that it doesn't see much service.

Hey, it's got a one-piece bowl! And it certainly wasn't a big investment.

Vale,

Matthew
