A paratrooper helmet dated 1972, but which country? Help please
I found this in that cache of helmets that i found in my cedar chest,
the style looks like english but i have bever seen a tin inner shell.
There are markings which photograph poorly indicating the initials c.w.l. Also a size 71/4and what i presume is a date 1972.
There is an aged cardboard tag which has an inscription cfn buckley.. The sizing and name suggest an anglo saxon origin. The liner shows wear with 2 small leather attachments and a rear buckle.there is a broad arrow which suggests a british empire origin. I wonder whether this is a butchered helmet with inner liner? I am going to sell all my helmets now and have used ebay and paypal but i would appreciate the members description and thoughts. Theliner reminds me of the the ssh 36 in that the liner allows airflow inside the helmet.also like the french adrian,
