Wartime St John Ambulance Brigade Helmet.

Black painted wartime MkII helmet with a St John Ambulance Brigade transfer to the front. Helmet does not have any obvious manufacture or date markings but does have a size 7, 1939 dated liner by ' ANP '. Interestingly the transfer appears to have been overlaid over an earlier red motif ( red cross possibly ? ) which is evident in small areas where the transfer has been chipped or scratched. There is also evidence of the helmet previously having a gas guard fitted with a ghost image present in the paint. Generally good condition with an overlaying of light corrosion, scratches, chips etc. Liner pad now absent.
