WW2 BRITISH HOME FRONT TOMMY HELMET - RARE VARIANT
A real rare variant just sourced with other wartime items from a house in Liverpool.
B Grade helmet as issued to Home Guard as they were not deemed fit for Front Line service.
Unusually this one only has the 3 holes on one side of the apron not both.
The normally fibre straps of the liner and the liner band are made of compressed paper, this I've never encountered before.
Chin strap again, a variant I have never seen. Buckle type fixings at the strap clips, broader than usual width webbing and still with springs.
JSS maker.
Good one for the Tommy / Home Front collector.
