Korean War MkII - Royal Canadian Dragoons

[mk1rceme]

Here we have a named MkII used by a trooper of the RCD with the hard to find OD chinstrap. Liner is dated 1953.

So Canada didn't move onto the Mk3 after the war? Looks like a nice lid with history

[mk1rceme]

No, Canada did not use the MkIII after WWII, but some officers were allowed to use the MkIII/IV in Korea. I have a pic somewhere in my files of the helmet in use...I will try to locate it and post it here.

Here it is...I really have to sort my pic files.

Is the shell WW2 dated with original paint but just refurbed with a post war liner, nice lid.

[mk1rceme]

The shell is dated 1942 and has the post-war OD green repaint.

The Brits refurbed there MkII's in the 50's aswell, repainting & adding 50's dated liners.
