Hi All.
Any thoughts on this recent pick up?
A MKII Helmet, factory finished in black so possibly originally intended as a Wardens Helmet? Complete with what I’d say is it’s original chin strap and 1940 dated liner.
Helmet also dates 1940.
My question is, has this helmet been painted in a somewhat naive camo post war?
Say for a child to pay with?…. or was it applied during the war for another purpose.
The paint , although painted on with a brush, is reasonably well done and has something of charm to it. It certainly looks old.
Any help or theories would be greatly appreciated.
