Hello all, just got this helmet in the mail, arrived direct from Essex today.
A smashing example of a MkII helmet badged to the Royal Engineers, in Hadrians wall camo, and it in fact has what I believe to be -THE- Kings shilling!
Quite certain of its authenticity, as it doesn't smell of paint. Belonged to a member of the Northumbrian Ulster Territorial Service, it's a rare and remarkable helmet, and while I had never heard of the Northumbrian Ulster Territorial Service, this is no stretch due to the loss of war records etc.
Cheers
