Leather Jockey Fire Helmet with Lion Finial

This is a rare jockey helmet with a lion finial, one of only a couple we have seen in 30 years.  This leather helmet is in good condition  with a small tear in the leather as shown.  The finial is in excellent condition.  The lion has a ring in his mouth.  It is unknown what department this helmet came from.  It was made by Cairns and Brothers.   A quality helmet to add to any collection.
