I like it very much. Interesting pattern. Desert?
That is a nice helmet jss John sankey and sons,Bilston the cammo pattern you have there is great and i have heard people refer to this as Malta cammo pattern.I would think that it was definately a Medeteranian area used Helmet.
There must be something under the rectangle on the front, unit badge or designation of helmets use.
Nice Helmet !
Best left "As is" .. concerning a possible flash on the front !

Hi Gary, Absolutely right !!! I have no intention of ever trying to "fill the gap" I like the lid exactly the way it is
sounds good to me
This helmet looks indeed like a Malta camo.
This pattern was called "rubble wall pattern" When on Malta you can still observe walls that have this pattern. Piled chunks of rock filled up with mortar.
In the War Museum of Malta I saw two types: one orginaly khaki with added brown and some green/brown ones with added sand colour.
Nice helmet. Rather scarce I imagine!
Cheers,
Emile
