Hi everyone, picked up this helmet today at the Thetford Militaria fair. It has a lightly sand textured finish. Can I assume this is an army issue helmet? Many thanks, Doug

You are correct Doug, & nice it is too.
..and signs of having had an early "shrimp catcher" woven net applied at some time.
Nice MKII .
Hi Doug, nice one! And, if I'm reading your pics correctly, it bears the same maker, year and steel lot of mine: BMB 1941 L 34. If you don't mind, I'd like to know the maker/year of the liner, and which kind of securing nut is fitted on.
A nice combat MKII helmet Doug, good buy. Leon.
Thanks Doug! The bolt and nut assembly is the same of my specimen, and as is the liner's maker; that's interesting, because it seems that BMB used early nut and "late" bolt for this batch (L 34 lot, 1941 production). Of course, it could be also a later upgrade (bolt), but i find it less probable, also because in both helmets the bolts seem to have been there by the beginning.
