NHSR turtle helmet

I thought I would show you all this helmet. Its a post war civil defence helmet for the National Hospital Service Reserve. I believe the NHSR was formed in 1945 and dispanded in 1952. Ive come across alot of turtle helmets but this is the first white painted NHSR example I have seen. I bought it from a car boot sale for £5. There are still some bargains out there!
