{"product_id":"original-world-war-two-era-american-civil-defence-helmet-1","title":"Original World War Two Era American Civil Defence Helmet","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn interesting item, not often seen in the UK, but this is an American Civil Defence helmet, based on the British Brodie helmet design (also used by the Americans pre M-1 helmet). Essentially, the American A.R.P. and although they never saw an air raid, they were similarly well organised as the British wardens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe helmet is complete with rayon webbing suspension and chin strap, with press stud fixings, similar to the early war low fibre M-1 helmet liners. Has the blue circle, with red and white striped triangle, denoting use by an Air Raid Warden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeems to have M1 helmet style fixed bales rather than the rivetted bales common to Brodie style helmets. Liner is in nice order, a few dings on the top of the helmet as they are very prone to. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaker marked Mc in a circle. I suspect this is likely to be McCord, a prolific manufacturer of helmets during the war.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hornbeam Militaria","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56389873009026,"sku":"warden-helmet-2","price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0442\/6471\/8485\/files\/IMG_9846.jpg?v=1772138263","url":"https:\/\/hornbeammilitaria.co.uk\/products\/original-world-war-two-era-american-civil-defence-helmet-1","provider":"Hornbeam Militaria","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
