British MkIII Turtle pattern helmet
Article about: Hello Ade, Here's a post war Turtle given to me by a friend who found it in a garage. Mk IV 1954, manufactured by CCL. Do you know who CCL were? Cheers, Guy.

This looks like a MkIV that was retro fitted with a bolt, to take the MkII or MkIII liners.
The lift the dot" was done away with apparently. Odd. I know of "lift the dot" posts fitted into MkIII's, but not the other way around.
Maybe it was not unusual for the Irish MoD. I do not have knowledge of that.
Nice helmet!
Cheers,
Emile

good Morning,
I am new to the forum
and I apologize for my English.
I have a helmet mk4
1953
with
bolt.
I bought it in Ireland.
the seller had many helmets
all
bolt
and liner mk3,
all in good condition
I do not believe
that are
helmets repaired.
someone
could say
something about
these helmets ...
...
From my research the Lift the dot came loose and fell out and they couldn't be bothered to put a new one in and they placed a bolt in to hold the liner instead and yours has a little dimple where the lift the dot was attached at one stage.
Best Regards Matt
On the look out for original ww2 M26 Adrian helmet liner.

A very keenly priced example of the Turtle helmet here for sale from a forum member, he has some others listed if you check his other items for sale. I was very tempted to buy this one, but I have bought a lot of other items recently so I am not going to. I assume it is a MKIV but very cheap for one of them and an earlyish example I think
A British Mark III Turtle helmet. Looks to be an early example. | eBay
