I like this one very much "Merchant Navy Third Officer. Good luck with your necks again..
Fire Watcher......'been wanting a go on one of these for a while....they look pretty dull but virtually everything's different. Apart from the obvious, the rim's rolled and the liner, strap retention lugs and the strap are pretty much unique yet every one I've seen is this colour and has the red "FW".
Inside could be a lot tidier but that didn't matter for the field test...and it worked!
Wide elasticated faux leather strap (I've seen black AND brown versions), a fibrous / horse-hair-type liner band and the liner buffer-pads are different too...it's all different and one wonders why they went to all that trouble all for a couple of holes........
errr....sorry....no net!
tut, no net! apart from that nice helmet, have not seen that type of liner and strap before. Curious aswell to the extra holes in the rim
the holes are what make this one....it was a "device" to enable Watchers to see falling ordinance THROUGH their brim
