Harlan, well, lo and behold it's '42 dated... now that I have revisited its interior. Here's the under side and some interior markings...

Cool. It looks like it has the arrow stamped on so much British stuff. Hopefully someone knowledgeable will see it and let us know if it's the British helmet called (I think) MK II

Ok... more helmets.... sorry for the bad photos, but it is late at night.... enjoy!



Not meaning to jump your thread, but someone posted Nazi and Tommy helmets.....

Harlan, these are all certainly UK MkII helmets. My area of collecting is WW2 UK/US arms and militaria. Here's another, in green and stamped '42 (It it is of Canadian mfg. - C.L./C. = Canadian Motor Lamp Co.).

Here's one more for all the Lee Enfield guys...

It's a British MkII (AMC = Austin Motors Co., Cowley) with a Canadian oil cloth camouflage rainproof cover.

The oil cloth cover is well marked...



And how about a late WW2 (web strap) Airborne hat...
