British WWII MKII airborne helmet

[jellebb]

Hello I'm new over here and I have a question about a British MKII airborne helmet because I'm not sure if he's WWII or post-war. Please help me to sort this out and let me know.

The paintwork certainly is not WW2.

[jellebb]

ok, that's what I thought, thank you for the reply

Looks to be conveniently damaged where the date should be, like some other post war para helmets i have seen.

I would leave this one well alone, too many issues.

[kradman]

yes looks to have issues there are better helmets out there

[jellebb]

that's just what I'm going to do, I thank you all

It's the wartime BMB manufacturer's stamp; they used a different stamp after the war. When I see the watermark I can only imagine it is VERY expensie.
