Description:
A Merryweather Firemans Helmit, These Helmits of this style were used from about the 1880's until WW2. The Victorian vintage helmit is in very good condition for its age. I believe it is a real one and not a repro. Its very heavy and silver plated over copper. It could use a good silver polishing. Its turning the usual silver black tarnish in a lot of areas. The chin strap is solid and the leather is dark but strong.The liner has been replaced at some date but does show some honest wear and staining , Its in solid condition and a good looking fire helmit. I believe silver plated ones were issued to higher ranking Fire Brigade officers. Its the only one I have ever owned so cant tell you much more about them. Its very well built and is a attractive helmit. Call for more info is you wish, Tom 612 859 5673 Added! The Helmit in my estimation is original because its very heavy, it weighs the same as a US GI steel pot and liner . It weighs three pounds. I believe is copper under the silver Plate.
