Steve, ..
Yes Canada !!! .. and I think you know where from !!! (But no where near the price it was advertised for
)
.. Also ... Nice lid !!! ..
Was it the one that got pulled early off ebay from Norway/Sweden ?
Regards
Gary J.
No, this one came from a guy we both know. He was very sad to let it go. I never saw the e-bay one. Was it good ?
I was watching yours, hoping I could save up enough before it sold. I was too late ! I think you got a great deal. I agree with you - it has just the right amount of wear . I love it.
Regards,
Steve

Hey guys..ive found what appears to be a 42 dated bmb para helmet..it has what im led to believe is a later war canvas chin strap,the cushion on the inside of the shell has shed its skin and just has the foam left behind..the paint is quite average and different shades outside to inside,unfortunately i didnt have my phone so couldnt take any pictures but can go back tomorrow..at a guess what would a fair price be?

Sounds like a post war Australian conversion.

Hi tinlid,ive found the helmet in nz..it has the leather liner ring with bmb 1942 stamped into it..the chinstrap looks the same/very similiar to the later war ones..ill get some pics of it today...

A very nice Mk I HSAT indeed Gary with a lovely used patina about the the harness on your example is an outstanding example as stated a coveted and highly sought after British WW II helmet.
I as well have been on the search for an example to add to my collection that ticks all the right boxes for me and would prefer an example that shows definate genuine period wear .
I as well feel I have waited to long and prices indeed now are bordering on ludicrous and are steadily on the rise thanks for showing.
Regards Mark
