Hi all,
My father found this helmet alongside with its original owner back when he was a kid in the 60's, he was walking alongside a creek
after a storm, which caused the creek banks to collapse. while on his walk he spotted this helmet that had resurfaced, when removing the helmet he also found the original owner, he reported his findings to his neighbor who was an officer in the Belgian army. once a team had excavated the remains of the soldier, the officer informed my dad that he had found a lost Canadian soldier from WW2 and that he was wearing a turtle shell, the officer allowed my dad to keep the helmet.
Now here's my question, I also own another Canadian turtle shell and when comparing the two to each other I find a lot of differences, after doing some more research on Canadian helmets Im unable to find this specific helmet design, now is this really a Canadian helmet or is it something else?
There are also no markings in the helmet.
ps: the helmet was found in Brasschaat Belgium.
Thanks in advance!
greetings
