20th Century WW2 Brodie

[63cagedfalcon]

Picked this one up today.  I was told it is Eastern Irish Command.

It's seen some use but the insignia is in good condition. 

It's nice when the liner and chin strap are present....be even nice if there wasn't roofing tar on them. The guy I got it from  sad, almost every piece had some tar on it.

The strap shows 3 s/n's(?). 2  that will require squinting to make them out, and one  very legible, C. Hyland, S/N 202026.

I'm terrible at U.S. research, doing British research...Yeah, right!
