Mk1* West Yorkshire.
Nicely used Mk1* with a flash of the West York's.
Originally made in ww1 by Thomas Firth & Sons from 1915-19, refurbished 1937-39 for use by the military in ww2.
Earliest dated Mk1 liner you can find, 1937, which were all made by HELMETS Ltd.
Mk1 chin strap & lugs.
You already know what I think !

Absolutely gorgeous example and in amazing condition. Would that size of flash actually have been used in action, or was it primarily a pre-war affectation?
The decal was probably made by Gale & Polden, so a standard size. It's slightly bigger than a Scots guard decal, around the same as a The Glasgow Highlanders.
There was I think an order that decals should be painted over when going over sea's, obviously not adhered to in quite a few cases, thankfully.
