Hi,
British helmet, no liner, elastic strap with 1940 on rivet plates, no other markings evident.
What are the two lots of four drilled holes alongside the rivets for- previous strap, radio gear, gas cape, etc...?
Cheers, jim.

Hi,
It means the helmet did not pass the safety/strength tests to be used as a combat helmet and would have been isssued to non coms, such as police etc...4 holes means its a 1D made of mild steel

Hi Jim,
nice old helmet shell though, you could always get a liner and complete it. You beat me to the answer vonbond, lol.
