Scarce WWII Home Front Composition Helmet

A WWII Plasfort type helmet, the shell of which is manufactured from an early phenolic resin type plastic. These were sold to both the public and members of Civil Defence organisations. This example bears the faint trace of a badge or device to the front. The shell is excellent, though the chinstrap securing lugs are rusted and in this instance I would recommend replacing the chinstrap (these are commonly available and inexpensive). The liner is dated 1941 and size 6 3/4. A good example of an increasingly scarce variant.
