Early WW2 NFS MKII Steel Helmet (Stone, Staffs)

An all original early wartime produced National Fire Service MKII helmet bearing a number 25 decal which is the designated code for the Stone region in Staffordshire.
The shell is stamped on the underside of the brim R.O.& Co (Rubery Owen & Co of Leeds) and retains much of its original factory applied paint finish, the exterior does display some minor scuffs etc as this is a used example, the front NFS decal does have some light service wear from usage but remains complete.
The size 6 3/4 liner is the early MKI pattern with the oval shaped dome pad, the cradle bears the makers name C.S & W Ltd 1939, the Rexene tongues retain some flexibility and not too dry like so many found today.
Original side sprung webbing chinstrap present.
