WWII British Despatch Helmet.
Article about: I picked up this Helmet last year at a small Local gun and hobby show. I bought it on site cause it was a good price and only a 1 day show. Have researched it and just want a second opinion

A nice HSDR (helmet, steel, despatch riders) 42 was the first year of production for the HSDR, before that they were made of rag pulp or rubber & fibre compound. The first ones were the fibre rim type, then later that year they started using a steel rim. The khaki green colour was used until 1944 when you start to see the dark brown colour.
All HSDR's were made by BMB.
