Hello,
Below are pics of the first ever steel helmet I bought, I was 8 years old at the time and it cost me a whole week’s pocket money, I don’t think I bought any militaria again until about 14 years later and by then I was interested in the Great War rather than WWII.
I haven’t looked at this helmet in years so got it out of its box to check the date and maker, that’s when I noticed the interior is black.
Could it have been a black helmet someone has painted green to make it look like an army helmet prior to me buying it, or did some have black interiors?
The green doesn’t look dark enough to me now or is this green one of the colours used in the war?
By the way, the stamping in the brim is so faint that I can’t make it out, the liner is BMB 1940.
Thanks
Tony
