Description

Since 1836, Cairns & Brother has been the original manufacturer of leather firefighting helmets.

The Cairns G5A has retained the same authentic look and quality that generation after generation of firefighters have relied on. Original style brass front holder with the impressive brim details. Helmet is standard with stainless steel D-ring. Helmet insides feature a four way suspension system and liner without earflaps. This is similar to the older Model 5A worn years ago and still being worn by the “Old Timers.”

Lightweight and comfortable fit are the hallmark of this most desirable presentation helmet. With a lower dome and longer rear brim than today’s leather firefighting helmets, the G5A is like the helmet your father wore. Not recommended for firefighting! This helmet is not OSHA or NFPA compliant.

  • Medium: 7 1/8 – 7 1/2
  • Large: 7 5/8 – 8 3/8

6″ Leather Fronts are sold separately

  1. William O’Connell –

    I purchased this helmet for my retirement ceremony, and it brought tears to the eyes of old-timers in my department. The attention to historical detail is extraordinary—from the brass eagle to the hand-stitched leather. Legacy perfectly recreated the 1970s-style helmet I wore as a probie, but with all the modern safety certifications. The weight and balance feel authentic, not like a modern helmet pretending to be old. The custom engraving of my service dates (1968-2003) and badge number was executed flawlessly. This isn’t just a display piece; it’s fully functional and meets current NFPA standards. For departments looking to honor retirees or create historical displays, you won’t find better.
