A great find in good order, my local charity shop only has old jumpers in it! Leon.

I passed one up in a local charity shop about 5 or 6 years back, though today I would have bought it. They had it labelled as a Wolseley helmet, LOL.
Regards,
Jerry
Whatever

It looks really cool and will display well. It's a mk 4 that has been updated with a mk5 liner. It's a shame about the chin strap lug but I would still have it it my collection

very nice ,the scrim is a work of art and the dates on the mk5 liner and nylon comfort sock certainly fit the timeframes you mention the hood certainly looks to show issued use ,a nice find in my opinion ,here is my example for comparison again the shell is dated 1952
