    Default Jewish Brodie helmet,military or civilian usage?

    Over painted British civil defence Mk2(2 holes) but liner looks Jewish production. The newspaper in the helmet indicates from the storage origin. Unfortunately, I have not found any photos of such white helmets being used in conflicts. Haganah helmet?
    Would be interested in your thoughts on this one,many thanks.

    This is a British MkII helmet shell with an Israeli made liner and strap. White painted helmets were issued to the Police for Civil Defense use in the 1950-60s.

    Is there a date on the newspaper?

    Thanks, that's interesting, it could be when they were packed to go into storage. I can't find a photo of these in use, and I've looked a lot. I use to own one that came out of a store room in Police station in the 1980s.
