Pith Helmet

Just picked this up at an antique mall. I really don't know much about these helmets, all the research I've done has been on m1's. This pith helmet is produced by Hawley. I know these aren't near as value as Hawley helmet liners, I paid $35 for this pith helmet which I hope was a decent price.

 

If anybody could give me any information about what branch of the military this would have been used in, what year it comes from, and value that would be great. I think it's going to make an awesome addition to my helmet collection, I love the salty look.

It looks like the civilian version of the USMC sun helmet.

 

What makes it a civilian version?
