Questions about a 1943 G&S Para Helmet
Hi Guys
I am far more familiar with MKII's than Para lids. This salty G&S 1943 dated British Para lid appears to be perfectly correct.
Found here in NZ for very little. I am curious about the paint job. Very little of the original paint remains. This has undoubtedly been re-used by the British or NZ Army post-war hence the green over-paint remnants. What I am curious about is the coat beneath the green which is a non glossy tan paint. If anyone can shed any more light of this lids possible service or thoughts on the paint I would be interested.
