    From what I can find, it's WWII production. All the Colonial brand knives were made with this handle, fancy name. I read it but don't remember it. PAL and the other manufacturers used leather grips. Supposedly, so many were made they were still issuing them through Vietnam.

    The helmet is brass. The similar examples I found were from the 1890's, Frenchicon Fire Brigade. It's so small. I know people were smaller then. I have a small head and still need one of the large Germanicon helmets to be comfortable. This may have been a small from back then, no way I can wear it.
