    Default Brit Armoured Crew helmet.

    Guys,

    Nothing special, but.

    I had to take it at €10, happy memories as a kid when your Boss and the driver would have one or indeed the Battery guide with his bike and you were stuck with that useless turtle shell, it was something to aspire to!

    A nice untouched one in good order.

    Looks like a mid 70's issue by the "socking" on the liner.
    .. There should be a date on the cross ribbing in the liner ..

    Cheers

    Fair enough, thanks for your info, now to my question regarding the Para. chin cup type webbing. Was this a common thing, thanks, John.

    back in the days of the larkspur radio system we had a hand held (mouth fit )mic with a head set
    then in the mid 70s we had the crew helmet tank " the bone crusher " still on the larkspur system
    than came "clansman" wow ?? the new geer ,,, same bone crusher helmet
