Hi,
Not familiar with the marking, I think some experts will able to help you.
Can you please post the inner part of the helmet, and the close up shot of the maker and the year?
Thank you and regards,

South Staffs I think. Looks good, but always hard to say when this was done.

Hi Taka, added some pics...
Notice the DH/ HD monogram penciled into the top of the helmet
Not sure if the makers marks are clear enough..

Joseph Sankey & Sons made the shell and Teddy Toy Company made the liner.
Can you tell if the green paint on the exterior under the overpaint is textured?

Green paint under rim is smooth..
It is the paint on the exterior which helps decide if this is Homeguard or Army issue. If the green under the desert paint is smooth, it is homeguard, if it is textured, it is army issue. Helmets of this date did not have textured paint underneath/inside, only on the exterior.
