Thanks Mark,
Now that you mention it, I do remember Aaron saying the same in a thread somewhere here.
Do you know if the colour matches the early wartime helmets? I don't get to see Commonwealth helmets in the flesh too often so don't have any comparisons.

The color green to me on the Wardens helmet looks to dark and not the correct color to be Irish issued and if I remember rightly and Aaron may correct me on this but I believe there are other known early examples of Brit flashed CD helmets that still bare there original factory green paint but they are uncommon.
Regards Mark
