    From what I can see of it, it looks like a British MK.11 shell and a British MK.111 chin strap with a Dutch liner.

    This helmet is a Belgian post war clone of the British MkII. It was probably reissued to the navy or Gendarmerie, because of the dark blue overpaint.

    In the top of the shell the screwhole should show a slight cavity. In the liner strap you should be able to see the acronym: ABL, which stands for Armee Belge Belgisch Leger in French and Dutch.

    Cheers,

    The liner is Belgian but are you sure about the shell it has MK.111 chin strap lugs and the chin strap still looks like a British MK.111, did the Belgians do an exact copy.
