Mk2 Head Warden

[tinlid]

A head warden with a 1" black band over the top of a white painted helmet, this paint scheme would date from October 1941. Before this it would have been a white helmet with a black diamond, or a 2" wide black band. To complicate things a bit, London markings would be white helmet with 1" black band meant a post warden.
Due to thickness of paint date not visible on the shell but the liner is dated 1939, & made by HELMETS Ltd, the size is a 7 3/4 which is the largest they made. Which means there are no buffers riveted to the liner.

Here are the earlier paint schemes for the head warden, diamond first followed by the 2" black band.

Nice Helmet, nice large size

I’d imagine British helmets in 7 3/4 are not extremely common?

Very, very nice selection of helmets
