Cheers Jerry I always assumed the whole British army was kitted out with mk3's for D-day,thats what I've always seen in B/W film clips.anyway the starting price is quite high on this,and its seen better days however it is complete,but think the net was added later.....

What price is it? It might have been at DDay but without proof it could have been anywhere and I would not pay more for it than it is worth as a worn textured army MKII.

I found it on the bay, the seller is well known for enhancing his items with unfounded claims, I would pass on it.

It is actually a nice lid I do like the wear and patina but IMO Aaron is spot on about the textured over paint there is no way to know for positive when it was done.

I agree completely, looks good , but no telling when or where the overpaint may have been applied.
