Original Victorian Army Service Corps Officers Home Service Helmet - Named

"A beautiful original Victorian officers home service helmet for the Army Service Corps. This example dates from the late 19th century, circa 1880-1902. (actually per-1890 since Hawkes moved to Savile Row in 1890). Complete with all original officers gilt elements, chinstrap, hangers, ball spike and base etc. Extremely fine officers pink silk liner

In excellent condition except for the pink liner partly detached. Named to 156 Hamersley, and marked as size 6 & 7/8.

With makers stamp for Hawkes & Co, 14 Piccadilly. Any comments? I am thinking of purchasing it. I don't have any experience with Home Service Helmets. Just ordered "GUIDE TO THE BRITISH HOME SERVICE HELMET AND ITS BADGES 1878 – 1914"
