Canadian Mk II Flashed to the Police Department
Article about: Morning Gents I came upon this little gem yesterday and I could not resist as Canadian Mk II home front civilian helmets flashed to any other services than the ARP do not come on the market

Were they often painted white, & or is this just for an officer(rank).
Interesting they've painted it inside white as well, as if here's a batch of helmets deliberately for purpose.

Hi Aaron there is very little information available in any of my referance material and or on line I had a bit of a discussion last night with a friend that has collector police helmets for ages he informed me that white painted police helmets were of the norm for WWII issued beyond that I can't really tell you much more I will try and see what I can dig up over the next few days.

Another lovely pick up Mark, very nice. Perhaps for parade/special function use? For use during blackouts, to make them more visible?
Regards,
Jerry
Whatever
its just an opinion.

Thanks Jerry there is just so little information out there on Canadian Mk II Police helmets I do agree with you though that the color white would have definitely made the wearer more visible in a crowd and or make for easier identification.
Regards Mark
