For centuries, firefighters have worn helmets to protect them from heat, cinders and falling objects. Although the shape of most fire helmets has changed little over the years, their composition has evolved from traditional leather to metals (including brass, nickel and aluminum), to composite helmets constructed of lightweight polymers and other plastics. This is a great example of a black composite MSA "skullgard" fire helmet of a USA Fire Department. It has a wide brim, front leather badge, “USA FD". With a leather liner and strap with buckle including a nice makers label inside of M-S-A, Pittsburgh, the size is around 6 ½ . The price includes UK delivery. Sn. 4974
