Midlothian Constabulary Victorian Chained Helmet

Midlothian Constabulary Victorian Chained Helmet, blue cloth covered cork helmet in four panels (no front or rear seams), blackened thistle top, helmet plate, thistle pattern ear rosettes and chin chain with seperate hook at rear to allow the chain to be worn across the helmet body. Cloth centre band with leather edging and leather chin strap for normal use - the chin chain appears to have never been worn in the 'down' position as it is slightly twisted where it is restrained by the hook of the right hand ear rosette to ensure it fits tightly across the helmet. Single air vent either side
