Well, the holy grail has arrived, an Malta camo with an flash of the Royal Artillery to both sides.
Very worn, but very much original.
Both shell & liner are dated 1941, liner made by FH.
To me it looks like a Malta camo was applied, then over painted again with another Malta camo.
Two for the price of one.
Well done Tinlid,you lucky bugger
Looks good Mate,
Stunning pick up mate, very very nice.

Whatever its just an opinion.
Helmet of the year, Aaron ! Very well done !
It's been a long time in coming, so thanks for the comments.
Well Done Aaron you must be ecstatic I would be dancing a jig right now with out a doubt a top shelf helmet . I love the well worn look patina and crazing to the paint the Artillery flashes are just killer looks to have spent some time out in the elements is it a little sun bleached ?
Regards Mark
Sun bleached + 70yrs of storage somewhere.
That was my opinion as well Aaron there are the tell tale signs of helmet stacking a bit of a slight ring on the shell was it a wood work find by chance.
Regards Mark
Got it off the net, so have no history to where it has been since the war.
