A rare example of the private purchase pattern helmet. This example with original green rough painted finish to the shell indicating for frontline use. The interior with the Hawkes lining, gilt tooled details to the leather sweatband. Retaining leather and material backed original chinstrap, this delicate to parts. Leather to the crown cushion absent otherwise a very good sleepy example of the type.
