Thanx Dean I appreciate it I have a small box of Mk II liner odds and sods but have used up or given away all the buffers I had left .
Have you ever come across any Canadian Mk II securing nuts and bolts in your travels ie... unissued dead stock I find them extremley hard to come by.

Regards Mark

Do you mean these things? Not unissued but removed from rotted Lids.
I keep them in my Grens spare parts box.

Regards Mark

very nice addition mark ,im loving the thick textured paint finish too ,very similar if not the same to my mk11 so in my opinion this paint is ww2 period applied ,great to see the helmet it can be dismantled with ease ,now tell me is it true the canadian made liners had the bumpers fixed around the headband and the british made liners on the frame risers and headband or was it dependant purely on the manufacturer ,like i say great helmet and thanks for showing ,james

[Mark K]

Thanx James it is a nice addition to the collection but will require some more research.
As to your question on Canadian liners and buffers check the sticky in the commonwealth helmet section ( Canadian Mk II helmets and its components ) I think I have covered all the variations sorry cant insert a link from my smart phone.

Just thought I would update the thread with a few extra outdoor pics I have added a set of ZA2902 headphones and microphone handset No'7 with the proper 5 point connecting plug.
This set can be used with WS-19, WS-22, WS-31 and or WS 43 (with plug) and are correct in this configuration to be used with this Mk I HSRAC .

Is that a split in the shell visible in the interior pic Mark?

[Mark K]

Must just be play of light Jerry ...
