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.

Thanks Aaron,its going to be a gamble i think as the pics dont give nothing away,have to think about the risk..............Jake.update-liner has lift dot so not offically a mk111 but still a wartime helmet might still have a punt on it depending on the price..........

i have one of these helmets with the high rivet but the maker is different to all of these ones. it says in the liner. 7 VERO II 1944. would anyone no who this maker is.

Hello Geelong,
VERO produced (among others) liners in WW2,. Not the steel shells. Digit 7 is the size.
The Shells were produced by: Biggs Motor Bodies (BMB) and Rubery Owen & Co (RO CO).
Cheers,
Emile

F&L (Fisher & Ludlow Ltd ) also produced the Mk3, VERO stands for Everett W Vero & Co.
I think the Mk4 is an interesting helmet to have & especially when marked as a Mk3, as they were made during WW2. But doubt they got to the front liner before the war ended.

The shell is an RO&Co or F&L made one, so the date/maker name will be horizontal to the rim somewhere on the inside.
