Original Item: One Only. The Traditional Bobby helmet was named after the creator of the British Police Force, SIR ROBERT PEEL, who became Prime Minister under Queen Victoria. This early version, known as a “Rose Top,” features a plated top fitting, in the shape of a rose, hence the name. The front Helmet plate has a “Queens’s Crown” to top, over a star burst, with the Heraldic running Lion of the County of SURREY CONSTABULARY in the striking colors of Blue and Red.
The helmet is in Size 59 as marked on the tag, which also notes that it is a Custodian Helmet, and is rigged with its Riot Gear liner with web chin strap, retaining its Riot Chin “Cup”. The Helmet also still has the original patent leather “everyday” chin strap, and there is even the ORIGINAL hang tag attached to the web strap, still held on by the plastic hanger.
In excellent unissued overall condition and ready to display!
