Thank you Steve.....I was fishing I guess but I knew that someone would’ve grabbed the images
I’ve not seen one like that before but I’d have a big problem splashing just short of a grand on a photo or two. I hope the winner is happy with their purchase...... but for that money I’d be looking at a number of hyper-rare Home Fronters....

Ha ! Ha !, but seriously, what would the rarest Home-front helmet be in your opinion ? Is there one you would really stretch for ?

I think I’ve dodged that bullet before.....and of course I’ll be almost writing a spec for our “enhancer” friends/dealers.....but it’d have to be a rare one......technically there’d be only 12 or 13 Regional Commissioners...and at least one region adopted their own style......Or a nice LFB senior rank....or even an Assistant Canteen Leader but as I’ve said before, I think I find a new one (to me at least) every week......so perhaps it’s the one I’ll find in 7 weeks time....
We need a book....have I said that before.....???

Confession.......I went higher than I thought I would...but I was still considerably off the final price....
