British MK2 with an early woven net owner a hessian cover, the hessian has a camouflage pattern painted on , ive not taken the cover off of this helmet but I can see the paint is a textured finish.

'can't wait to see all those pics of MkIIs from SoS 2019........... :-)
....especially the Home Fronters!
Bump
Got a GPO to pick up....pics when I get it as stupidly I did not take any when I had it saved for me.

Whateverits just an opinion.
...suspense is building......looking forward to seeing that Jerry. I’ve got a number of images in the draft and it’s fair to say they seemed to come in all colours, fonts, typefaces etc
Someone suggested I post this here. A 1938 Mk II with early doughnut pad liner. Very unusual badge - on the front not the side - which I was told by the auctioneer was 'Anti-Aircraft, London Area, Royal Artillery'. Don't know where they or the vendor got that from and can't find any more out about it. Hoping someone here might have some ideas...
I have no idea what this is...other than REALLY nice....but I'm not a MILITARY MkII kinda guy - there are others here who are......and I hope they'll come along shortly...although at the moment the New Posts seem to be dominated by the TR-brigade....so thanks for raining on their parade :-)
...bumping this one 'cos I wanna know what the badge is....I've failed spectacularly to find anything....is everyone else looking too?
One would like to think that if it IS military it would be straightforward (ish).......if it's not military Lord help us as it could be one of thousands of "Factory" ones.
'still lovin' it tho....
It has a USA look to it, but....

Whatever
It does look a little that way. I have no idea what it is but I would bet on it being civilian rather than military mainly because of the "shadow" painted to the letters HS. I have never seen that kind of "artistry" on a military lid from any nation or period. So my vote is "industry".by Jerry B
