An near mint Mk1* made by Thomas Firth & sons, liner & chin strap lugs dated 1938. It has an white M painted on the inside to donate that the rim is magnetic.
It has two flashes one either side for R.E.M.E. HQ units, (thanks Steve) the bottom part painted black instead on normally being blue for R.E.M.E. There is an number on the inside of the liner which I think is for R.A.S.C. 1942 saw the introduction of R.E.M.E from units made up of RASC, RE & RAOC. So maybe from there.
