Hi,
It's probably BMB 1943, (Briggs Motor Bodies) Being textured inside and out would make this an army Mk2. From the pictures it looks like it's had a repaint.

Thank you very much tinlid - would this be a war time re paint do you think?

Hard to tell, this helmet could have been used 5-10 years after the war. Olive drab which is what it looks like, was about for the last couple of years during the war. Then it was common to use this colour painting helmets during the post war years.

Thanks agin tin lid, this s my first mk2, but the paint certainly looks battered so hopefully is war time finish...
