WWII Home Front Fire Watcher's Steel Helmet
The Fire Watcher Service was formed in September 1940 to spot and report the fall of incendiaries and their ensuing fires. Personnel were issued with a unique pattern of helmet. This example retains it's original finish and bears painted issue marks B1. Both liner and shell are dated 1941, the liner being size 7. A good example with unusual issue marks.
