Jumpin Jack Posted January 28, 2012 Share #3 Posted January 28, 2012 Interesting Civil Defense helmet as it is olive drab. Most I've seen are white. These are an interesting study area as there are a number of decals that were used by CD officials. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SergeantMajorGray Posted October 6, 2014 Share #7 Posted October 6, 2014 yeah i guess i just always found it odd that the signs show it one way but people just put them however they wanted probably not much uniform regulation in the Civil Defense as long as they were making people feel like they were safe and you can tell that the decal was air raid warden it didn't matter.

Mr.Jerry Posted October 10, 2014 Share #9 Posted October 10, 2014 Neat helmet! can we see the rest of the liner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Third Herd Posted October 11, 2014 Share #10 Posted October 11, 2014 The standard Civil Defense helmet did not have a rivets on the top or rim and were marked Government Property. It looks like a WWI helmet being reused with the rough paint removed and repainted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
