Hello chaps, what do you make of this one? It is being sold as a unit marked Royal Observer Corps helmet. Now I will firstly admit that I am no expert on unit markings but I was in the ROC! My concern is not that this is an original unit marking as it appears to be contemporary to the general wear on the helmet. My concern is that even though the "colours" match those on my Corps tie, I would not have thought that the ROC at that time would have had a unit marking like this on their helmets. The only "tommies" that I ever saw in our HQ museum were black painted(not khaki) and had either OC or OBSERVER painted to the front! Oh and this one is £195!! What are your thoughts experts!! Leon.
