VINTAGE FDNY WAR YEAR LIDS

The CPT helmet Engine 231. listed on ebay... I just checked the Watkins Street records and did not find a Cpt R D Keller ever being assigned to the company. I think the helmet does not match the front piece! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 
Helmet has holes drilled for Eye Shields & has several holes in the front panels as it may have had different Fronts at one time....inside has some white paint writing as older FDNY Helmets did.....good possibility it was FDNY.

 
The helmet front pieces for Lt. L147 & Lt. 148 truck have black numerals. If these are FDNY should they not have red numerals?

Alot of times, when you see fronts from the 1950s and older the red gets very dark. Which I'd presume is the case with these fronts. They belonged to his father and are actually posted earlier in this thread, so I'm confident in their authenticity.
