    ...another one just sold tonight.....£211 !!!...it's just an NFS leading Fireman lid....what am I missing?

    good luck to the sellers of course...and I know that the Scottish ones are harder to find than those with the oval Fire Force badge but........

    Perhaps there's a new batch of Home Front collectors north of the border.........

    Here's another boring ol' home fronter....no nets, no flash....never been to Malta........Sankey shell, JCS&W liner ('39 I think)....I guess I have a thing for Wardens lids.

    The thing about this one is the number.....did this guy (or gal) actually have at least one thousand, four hundred and ninety four colleagues??..on that basis who's got the other ones?...now there's a collection on it's own!

    ...and no, I don't actually know what the number represents.....but would welcome suggestions........it's actually "Chicken Fried Rice with Mushrooms" on my menu

    Nice Wardens lid, interesting with the number.....no idea on that, though unknown home front variants crop up on a regular basis, I have one with A and numbers and of couse the WC helmet.

    'continuing to try to breath life into this once-hot bed of non-TR helmetry......

    Police - War Reserve....this has to be one of the mintiest (?) Water Slider Transfer'd helmets I've seen and certainly the best WR example. Made by Harrison Brothers (no surprise there). Two separate transfers..."POLICE" and "WR".....WR lids aren't overly common........I said WR lids aren't......oh....I give up :-)

    Nice War Relics helmet, rarer than an Malta one.
    Surprised you haven't got this one already, but as said, not that common then.
