    The B97 is the steel batch number, but the BMB below is for Briggs. Date is to the right of that 1939.

    There is a service number written on the chinstrap and the liner, I’m hoping to be able to identify its owner via the RUC museum.

    Thanks guys for your replies and help.

    Been after one of these for a while now and then just by chance the other day a guy I worked with found out I collected helmets and said he had this lying in his attic and was willing to sell, serendipity.
