    Default Fibre rim royal armoured corps

    Hi, An ultra rare fibre rim Royal Armoured Corps helmet. Would have been made in 1942, the same as the F/Rim Para helmet & despatch riders helmet. Although it has been painted black, I'm not sure if this was done WW2 or post war. The paint has been on there a long time. As you can see, the liner is fixed from the top of the helmet, & not by 4 bolts as with the para & despatch riders helmet. It has the standard Mk2 liner with the standard chin strap fixing lugs. All comments welcome. Thanks, Aaron.
