Pith helmet to ID

[Stuka f]

probably a question for Peter...

Or does anyone else have a idea about this helmet?

Thanks for your time.

Locally made example, the coloured band could be for navy or local police or ?  The liner mounting on corks is something you see on French made sun helmets.

Thanks Jerry! 

I'll pass it on.

It looks like the British "Standard Pattern," which like most patterns the British had was anything but 100 percent standard. It could be police, but I've seen other examples that were used by the Royal West Indies Regiment. The thinking is that the regiment was raised in the West Indies, including Jamaica and these helmets were already available.

I'll pas it on too.
