Original Belgian WWI Leather #4 Fire Brigade Helmet with Brass Comb & Hardware
-
Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very good condition, WWI Era Belgian Leather fire helmet, very reminiscent of the German fire helmets in use at the time. It features a rigid pressed leather body, with brass fit leather front and rear visors. It has a very nice brass top comb, as well as a front plate showing the standard long fire axes and the number 4, probably for the 4th Brigade. The Lion motifs on the helmet indicate that it is Belgian in origin.
The interior of the helmet no longer has the liner present, probably removed long ago. The brass ring chin strap is present, attached to the helmet on brass "Lion's Head" attachment hooks. The chin strap looks to be complete, with some tearing near the end, and is currently stowed in the "up" position.
This is an unusual and very attractive item. Offered in very good condition.
