WW2 British Chief Air Raid Wardens Helmet 1939

A wonderful ''Timecapsule' piece of London Blitz history ! This WW2 Home Front Chief Wardens helmet has senior rank double black stripes with 'W' to front & back. I offer this helmet completely uncleaned & as found with years of dirt & grime buildup over its white painted finish . This helmet shows wear & must have seen much devastation in the aftermath of the London bombing raids. A MkII helmet it was factory painted in khaki before being overpainted in white with the black stripes added denoting the rank of Head Warden. Helmet shell bears the markings & date ' F&L 1939' ( Fisher & Ludlow ) with liner cradle CCL marked & 1940 dated. Chinstrap is original to the helmet & retains elasticity. A true piece of Home Front history .
