British Mk6 helmet

Article about: Hello! It has been quite a long time since I have last posted here, a few years actually now that I think of it. I do apologize for my extended absence, but the years have treated me kindly

    Exactly my thought, police - blue or black?
    "Per Ardua"

    Is it a colour thing or do you have more info?

    UPDATE - apparently this helmet was owned by ex-army, ex-freelance who ended up undertaking ship-based anti-piracy work. So kinda private navy??

    If so I would assume either company-provided (commercial purchase) or private purchase (also commercial)....depending on the type of vessel (I'd imagine that passenger ships would want an element of uniformity / smartness rather than a load of Chris Kyle wannabes/lookalikes....whereas tankers/freighters might not be as focused on staff appearances....no offence to any ex-Merchants out there!)

    Here's a question....were "they" (N&P ? MOD? "the man"? ???) refurbishing (de-shining?) Mk6s whilst they were making new ones too?

    OK, here's the question from the idiot side of the room; if there's no label how do they know it is a Dunlop shell? Take out the liner to see the moulded logo? Or what? Is there a recognition factor other than that?

    I do think you're right in guessing it might be the rarest Mk6 - at least based on observation even if no actual access to production figures.

    Hi greg , thats far from an idiot question mate,, its weird the other 2 owner said on there mk6s the black pins were missing and they said theres a D for dunlop on the inside,, when i got mine i looked and mine too is minus the black pics but mine has the label.. Ian is a long standing memeber here and the other richard has contribed to your website ,, both are really good chaps in this addction we have .. I'm on a 1 man mission to try and stop these rare early helmets going off to fight putin.. i'll add pics b4 the weekend..
    regards
