    Default Named Canadian Mk2 from Normandy

    I have just acquired this helmet, from Normandy, seller found it in 1985, in the Hamlet of Cussy, near to Caen. Sold as a Canadian helmet, I cant find the makers mark (can anyone confirm this from these photos), though I think it might be beneath the rust (where the name appears). I have spent a long time looking at the painted details on the underside of the rim and I think it reads "CAPT MORE_ (then the helmet lug) and then _ _ 2x more unidentified markings.
    I have tried to take photos of the painted marks and would appreciate fresh eyes looking at it, to see what people think.
    I will take better photos in daylight shortly.
    Regards Gary
    PS the name appears to be painted with same paint used for the outside finish.

    Hello, very nice, I had one also, but I gave it to a friend living in Normandy, it was "local".

    It's Canadian, early British helmets with Mk.II lugs have larger rivets. You can determine if it's made by CL/C or GSW by the way the rim is joined see Mark K' sticky on Canadian helmets
