WW2 British Civil Defence Steel Helmet with Gas Cape Cover, interesting as found example of a British steel helmet which has been fitted with a original gas cape cover and the neck flap. The cover due to its construction and how it has been stored has congealed and has split in places. The splits in the cover allow you to see a grey painted finish to the helmet shell and the three drill holes to the brim indicating the helmet was not issued to front line troops. Complete with its 1939 dated liner and the webbing chinstrap has the name of the original owner inked, ‘Lt R.A.E MAGEE’. e have not attempted to remove the cover due to its fragile nature, sold as seen.
