Early WW2 NFS MKII Helmet (Region 31 Brighton)

An early WW2 National Fire Service helmet bearing the regional code/number 31 which was designated for the Brighton area, the shell is nicely stamped with the makers name and year of manufacture J.S.S (Joseph Sankey) 1939.
The shell retains much of its original paint finish (surface scratches) along with a good NFS transfer (light scuffs), the liner is an early MK1 with oval pad and has never been removed, the cradle bears a date stamp of 1939 along with the size 6 3/4, one of the cradle arms has become unattached from the liner band (shown in photos) + small period repair to another , the Rexene is slightly dry which is very common on helmets from this period.
Original webbing chin strap, one slight dip on outer edge of rim from receiving a blow during its working life.
Nice looking original piece.
