About this item
For sale is a WW2 British Home Front Civil Defence Plasfort Helmet, Liner & Chinstrap.
A bowl-shaped helmet, similar in shape to the MKII steel helmet used extensively by the British military throughout the Second World War. Commercially produced for the civilian market, this compression moulded phenol formaldehyde helmet has a raised moulded logo on the underside of the rim. It is fitted with a coated-textile, adjustable liner that is riveted in place with a leather chinstrap. These helmets were bought by private individuals, used in ammunition factories, and increasingly worn by civil defence personnel as steel helmets became more scarce after 1940. It cannot be certain how effective the helmets were but it is thought that moral was boosted when wearing one. This is in good condition and comes with its original liner, and leather chin strap. This will be sent via Royal Mail 1st class signed for and dispatched within two working days.Additional Information
