Mk.1*

My latest buy a classic MK.1* with a MK.1 chin strap, MK.1 chin strap lugs and MK.1 liner. It was originally a rimless War office pattern Helmet the makers or suppliers mark is H/S for Hadfields Ltd. The liner was made by Helmets Ltd dated 1937 it also still has quite a lot of its sand paint left but the real surprise was when I was cleaning it with an oily rag I felt a smooth square on one side which turned out to be three painted vertical bars of definitely blue and white on the outside bars but the middle one is badly faded it could be red but I would not put money on it, anybody have any idea what it is I am assuming its from WW11.
