This is the early issue with the padded liner, by VERO and dated 1938. The date is clear but I couldn't get a good picture last night.

Helmet has some rust as you can see. The inner shell is green so this was originally a military example which was used by the ARP, you will often see this on the early ARP helmets.

Similar in style to the ATS hat, here we have a Red Cross example.

The hat bands on these vary, some have no band, others have different colours. This must indicate a system of rank with the Red Cross but I don't know any more than that!

Inside it has the BRCS markings and maker details. There is a moth graze and a small area of loss on the chinstrap (could be boot-blacked in).

Excellent condition.
