A few more helmets to add to the thread gents .

1940 dated RO&CO Norwegian Reissued Mk II this helmet caused a bit of a stir when I first posted it here as the Norwegian National shield is on the front instead of the side and it would appear to have a post war refurbed Greek liner.

1940 dated C.L./C. Mk II this particular example has an oddity I have only seen on three other early examples it has a small C-/l\ stamped on the exterior of the shell near the chinstrap retaining lug.


1952 dated Mk IV with a Mk V liner

1952 dated Mk IV

Canadian Mk II flashed to the ARP

1942 dated G.S.W. D.P&H flashed to the S.J.A.B.
