How do you determine how old a helmet is?
The easiest way is to FIRST determine what type it is.1. If it's a British Pith helmet and it's white in color; then look for the date in which the Zulu Wars were fought in Africa; because that's the date (general time frame) that that particular style & color was used by Great Britains army.2. If it's a British Pith helmet and khaki in color; it might be the Boer War, also fought in Africa (against the Dutch). That'll date that particular helmet around 1899 thru 1902.3. A model 1916 "scuttle bucket" will be the WWI German steel helmet with Frankenstein lug nuts located at the front (two of them). Those "nuts" are for holding a special steel plate (extra armor) in place over the man's forehead, as a machinegunner, his head is exposed more than a standard rifleman's head, thus the extra armor.4. If it's an Olive Green (or terribly faded green) cloth covered pith helmet with (or without) a star on it's front, it's most likely an NVA pith helmet from the Vietnam War, dating from about '65 thru '75. Those are being commercially made for the tourist industry in the 21st century (they are still the same original helmet-official military standards/just newer).
In the time of the Zulu war in south Africa what were the british helmets made of and would they stop a bullet?
Pith is the inner part of a tree, sometimes referred to as the heart of the tree. Pith, taken from particular trees is used to make pith helmets, pith is also sometimes referred to as "cork." Today, marketed as "British Empire (Army)" pith helmets, they are becoming popular with collectors, and are being newly manufactured for the growing market. Some sites, such as the "Gentleman's Emporium" or just "British Empire Pith Helmets" offer these military helmets.The three most popular, or famous types of Pith Helmets are the: Stanley & Livingston (from "Doctor Livingston I presume" fame) pith helmets; the British Empire pith helmets from the both the Zulu Wars and the Boer War...both fought in South Africa; and the Vietnam War NVA pith helmet, worn by the North Vietnamese Army during the war.Pith helmets are designed to protect the head from the sun. Sometimes they are known as "Sun Hats" or "Sun Helmets." As stated previously, they are constructed of pith or cork, and if anything...they are closer to being hats than helmets, although they are hard, they offer little more head protection than a regular cloth hat (or cloth cap). During the Vietnam War, US GI's captured many NVA pith helmets, sometimes they had a communist star on them and sometimes they didn't (they were covered in Olive Drab green cloth) and the men wore them to protect themselves from the tropical heat, as they were EXTREMELY light to wear upon the head; compared to the very heavy all steel US Army M1 helmet...which gave headaches, due to it's weight.An arrow or knife can go thru a pith helmet, they are helmets; both are designed and built to protect the wearer from the heat & sun, no more. The British Army wore the White pith helmet during the Zulu Wars, along with their red uniform. By 1899, the beginning of the Boer War, the British Army had transitioned to the Khaki (tan, flesh colored) uniform, along with a Khaki colored pith helmet...same style helmet, just changed from white to brown (khaki, tan, flesh colored). Until WWI (1914 for Britain), the Boer War was amongst the bloodiest wars ever fought by the UK.
