Thanks for the link.

Glad to help if you have a look around my site you will find pages on British helmets from 1 to 6 and others.

Great website, do you know what date this helmet is?

[joseph barrett]

Which one. If we are talking about the Zukerman they seem to be always 1941.

[MG42]

Sorry, when do you reckon the police helmet was produce and used?

Your police helmet probably has a date, both in the shell and the liner.Im thinking it must be 50's-60's?..

[joseph barrett]

It probably is 1950s I have one exactly the same its in the home front section of helmets and head gear with a liner dated 1952 . The earliest date I have seen on a MK.1V is 1945 then the order was canceled in 1946 and started up again sometime in the early 50s and then became MK5s in 1959 with a new liner.

Actually this one is a butt plug for the Jolly Green Giant.

found some info inside the police helmet on the liner which reads;
REM MkIII 1952
So could this infact be a MkIII helmet or just a MkIII liner?
I'm think that this may be a police riot helmet that pre-dates the MkV version seeing as the police wouldn't require a helmet like this for any other use. I've been searching the web for similar police helmets with no luck so is this police variant rare?
