Genuine MkII Helmet?

[PremiumAzteca]

Hey,

Can somebody tell me if this is a genuine MkII Helmet? I'm new to the helmet world and i don't have a lot of knowledge about them yet.

It's an real WW2 British Mk2 helmet, might have been repainted on the outside, & maybe the nut & bolt holding the liner in is not quite correct.
The liner should be dated if you have a look.

I guess Matt there's small and there's really small?I know most had the smaller headed bolt from 1940 onwards............

Hi Jake, If there was a close up of the bolt, I would know for sure, so just edging on the side of caution really.
