I worked with a fireman in E 5, Al B, who had badge number 777, however that was 50 years ago. Strange how one can remember some things.

LAD*153 HELMET W / OLD STYLE FRONT..... very early Red straight Fronts turned dark like this over time....in one of the photos of the inside the small paper tag that is glued in place shows the pin pricks around the edges .....this is how the old Cairns head measuring device transferred a head shape for manufacturing a custom Helmet as used to be done......the "sellers description" seems a little strange....why would they not have returned it to a local FH back in 1944 ?.....either way it looks like a well preserved authentic piece.......I am not sure what the address on the tag is maybe back then Cairns mailed the ordered Helmets to the FFs home ? ....my custom one in proby school was delivered there not to my home.
