These helmets were worn from about 1950 to 1967 in the period between World War II and the military dictatorship. The badge on the front shows the typical cockade (guard star), on it a coat of arms with the words "Pyrosvestikon Soma" (fire service), the Greek cross (national emblem) and over the shield the crown of the kingdom.
