British Home Guard marked steel helmet

[Adrian Stevenson]

This is quite a rare helmet. It is marked to the London Home Guard "S" Zone.

`S` zone ran from Hamstead to Elstree.

This helmet was found in a loft.

Cheers, Ade.

I thought that I would bring this old thread back up as we have much more interest in British lids now.

Since I published these pics back in 2008, I have seen one fake helmet painted up like mine for sale at Beltring.......

Cheers, Ade.

Very cool lid Ade and thanks for bumping it.

I've seen one like this a few years ago, this is one hell of a rare one Is the insignia just on 1 side?

[Adrian Stevenson]

Thanks Guys, yes the insignia is just on the one side.

There are no visible marks to the shell or liner.

Cheers, Ade.

The shell might be made by F&L which would be stamped at the rear or front on the inside brim.

It's a good thing you bumped this one Ade.
I may never have seen it otherwise.
