leading fireman nfs worcester helmet

[James C]

just to share my national firemans helmet,perhaps fuelled by the recent interest in home front helmets and after viewing many a nice example i decided to take the plunge with this one , i was really hoping this code 23 denoted colwyn bay a place not to far from home but all the same good to have an example to the collection i dont intend on collecting them all

[Mark K]

Good on you James it should display quite good and what do you meen your not going to collect all the different districts
Something I never noticed till now are all the NFS helmets rimless or raw edge?

Regards Mark

A nice score James.

As regards Marks question I think most are the normal rimmed type.

[Mark K]

Thanks Jerry thought it looked a little odd just did not have time to look at a bunch of other examples as I am supposed to be working right now

Hi James, a very nice helmet mate , looks good rimless too! Mark, most of the NFS helmets I have seen have the rim, here's mine to compare. Leon.

[James C]

thanks guys ,oh darn it my rims fallen offjust my luck but perhaps this happened during period use i cant see any maker stamps in the shell but the liner has the briggs motor bodies stamp embossed into the liner crusible ,cheers fellas ,james

James the paint on the exterior appears to go right to the outer edge of the rim so it either is a rimless and or was repainted period.

I agree with Mark , I do not think this ever had a rim James. Leon.

[Jerry B]

It is probably one of the rimless BMB made examples which often have it stamped into the rim somewhere.

Perhaps we will have to start a thread on AFS/NFS helmets to go with those for Wardens and Police that we have yet to start.
