VINTAGE FDNY WAR YEAR LIDS

The Cap's front piece has the anchor between the bugles. Possibly a green colored "5" from the Marine Division of days gone by?

Helmet is available for additional fee
 
It is too bad that sellers on eBay remove fronts from helmets to sell seperately to make more money. It is common practice for dealers to buy or obtain a retired member's helmet and then remove front for 2 resales instead of leaving the helmet intact. Old helmets with stories to tell look sad without their department and company fronts.
 
Anyone can do what they want with their own fire helmets but profitmakers who rebuy and resell should leave history intact.
