Hi Mark, I have had a good "root around" and sadly I cannot find a match either, it is a fine looking helmet all the same. Let's hope some positive information comes to light. Leon.

Many thanx Leon it is a beuty of a Mk II and one I would love to have on my own shelf IMO the flash makes this an extremley interesting example and I do fell it is indeed war time applied ...
I shall pass the images along to a few friends and post it to a couple of other venues that I belong to in the hopes that someone recognizes the colors and or the division and or army group flash...
Regards Mark
