WW1/WW2 Free Belgian Forces Double Flashed Helmet
Fantastic example of a WW1 helmet shell being reissued to Free Belgian Forces during early WW2. Shell marked FS (T. Firth and Sons- Sheffield) with sand textured khaki paint finish. Double flashed with national colours . Early oval padded liner by Vero 1938. Size 6 3/4. Web strap intact and untouched.
40mm hairline crack to the rim ( common on WW1 pots but hardly noticeable). This is a desirable all original item.
This was part of a recently acquired collection of WW2 helmets that had been stacked and stored for decades.
