Article about: Hello Ade, Here's a post war Turtle given to me by a friend who found it in a garage. Mk IV 1954, manufactured by CCL. Do you know who CCL were? Cheers, Guy.

    good Morning,
    I am new to the forum
    and I apologize for my English.
    I have a helmet mk4
    1953
    with
    bolt.
    I bought it in Ireland.
    the seller had many helmets
    all
    bolt
    and liner mk3,
    all in good condition
    I do not believe
    that are
    helmets repaired.
    someone
    could say
    something about
    these helmets ...

    This looks like a MkIV that was retro fitted with a bolt, to take the MkII or MkIII liners.

    The lift the dot" was done away with apparently. Odd. I know of "lift the dot" posts fitted into MkIII's, but not the other way around.

    Maybe it was not unusual for the Irish MoD. I do not have knowledge of that.

    Nice helmet!

    Cheers,
    Emile

    From my research the Lift the dot came loose and fell out and they couldn't be bothered to put a new one in and they placed a bolt in to hold the liner instead and yours has a little dimple where the lift the dot was attached at one stage.
    Best Regards Matt

    On the look out for original ww2 M26 Adrian helmet liner.

    British MkIII Turtle pattern helmetBritish MkIII Turtle pattern helmetBritish MkIII Turtle pattern helmetthanks for the replies.
    I also believe that it is
    a characteristic
    of some
    Irish helmets (confirmed by seller) ...
    the liner is of '50
    even if there are no dates printed
    but only the size (7-1/8)
    and the producer (CCL).

    A very keenly priced example of the Turtle helmet here for sale from a forum member, he has some others listed if you check his other items for sale. I was very tempted to buy this one, but I have bought a lot of other items recently so I am not going to. I assume it is a MKIV but very cheap for one of them and an earlyish example I think
