Guys,

Again from the farm but taken out of the rubbish pile!

I am sure I read somewhere these things were done to raise funds for the war effort?

I know the subject is not that sexy like an EK or such like but better than nothing or worse still better than in the skip!

Never seen anything like that before. but it looks like a fair bit of work has been done on it

I knew it was a fund raising thing, see link.

Bit like the poppy appeal for us.

I have an opionion from a German pal, he says it is not that popular a design? Roman helmet? I would argue that it is rarer than an EK type design, who knows who cares?
