Chicago FD Helmets – styles and mountings (more)

This from Drew Smith addressing the post on Chicago FD helmets:

Attached is a photo of a brass one I added to my New Yorker helmet back in the early 1980s as well as an aluminum one. They were available in brass or aluminum. I thought the brass looked better than the aluminum worn by many others but soon realized the weight of this small ornament was tremendous.
