Sorry....I'm miles away from your net expertise.......I may even adopt that one myself......

Nothing like a bit of sagginess, especially at our age.

My only example ,stills retains the chinstrap albeit dyed black and believed to have seen use with the home guard ..I would love to know what is under that top coat as i can see a definitive banding around the domes circumferance .Sorry for watering down the thread with the modern lid aside but was the only pictures i could find to hand

Just received this today, a well used Mk1*, 1939 dated lugs, shell marked BS 3 (I'm guessing here, see photo), found in Normandy and sold as a Belgian issued helmet because of the flashes, though I have seen several of this type/size/colour, as REME issue ? I have counted at least 4x layers of paint, 2x smooth through to a sand textured and then another green over this.
