WW2 Canadian Police Helmet Size 7 1/8 Dated 1942 Maker CLC

This original World War II Canadian Police helmet is an authentic artifact dated 1942. Manufactured by the Canadian Lamp Company (CLC), it is marked with a size of 7 1/8. The helmet follows the standard Brodie pattern used during the period, constructed from steel and designed to provide protection for police and civil defense personnel in Canada. The interior features the typical oilcloth liner and a functional chinstrap, both standard for police-issued helmets of the era. Clear stamped markings on the inside rim indicate the size, date, and maker, confirming its provenance. Helmets such as this were issued to police forces during the Second World War to safeguard law enforcement officers, particularly during air raid duties and while responding to emergencies on the home front. This example represents an important part of Canadian wartime civil defense measures and is a relevant piece for those interested in mid-20th century military and policing equipment.
