this is an interesting helmet. I believe it is some sort of plastic with a leather brim. On the inside you can see in the last couple of photos that it has been cut in a pie shape on both sides and front and back.. I do not know if this was factory or someone just making the helmet larger. The leather brim is sewn onto helmet with what I think is leather stripping around helmet and side to side and back to front. Around a size 7. Thanks.
