Mk 2 British Army helmet
British Army Mk2 helmet made by Joseph Sankey & Sons Ltd. (JSS) and dated 1939. The helmet has a darker textured OD finish on the outside but the inside a lighter glossy OD finish. The liner is made by J. Compton Sons & Webb Ltd (J.C.S & W Ltd.) but the date is cut off when the stamp was applied but from the type of liner and what part of the date I can see this will be 1938 or 1939.
Classic army MKII . Congratulations !
From the Mk2s that I own I’ve noticed that earlier models always seem to be lightly textured but the later models are more heavily textured. Is this the same for all Mk2s?by SMP
Looks to be standard textured khaki green outside, just darker with age/use, which is all good.
Maybe added texture just might be due to the manufacturer? Some of the Mk3's were quite smooth compared with others.
Really nice helmet, thanks for sharing.
