Trains known as Red Hens used a combination 50/50 % case iron and steel. So I guess theoretically it could have been used and would make sense especially in a fire fighting helmet. It has also been said that some Imperial German gas masks used asbestos in part of the filter however from the drawings I have seen and from what I have read this was not the case at least where the M17 is concerned.
