HSRAC Mk1
Morning everyone,
here is the last addition to my collection, it is a Steel Helmet RAC Mk1, in the version with the steel edge cover, and shell painted in khaki smooth colour, inside and outside.
The liner is intact but the rubber cross is now crystallized and very fragile.
The liner maker’s mark no longer visible but only the size, but I have removed it and in the back it is marked:
CCL
11
1943
The chinstrap is a Mk3 pattern.
On one side it is flashed, at first it was painted a red square and then covered by a green square, I’m not a flash expert, but surely some of you will be able to help me in identifying.
It seemed interesting to me to share.
