My New HSRAC Mk II Helmet
Thought I would share the latest addition to my collection of Commonwealth Headgear. This is my "new" HSRAC Mk II Helmet that I bought from Peter Suciu, well known author of books on Commonwealth Sun Helmets and other headgear.
The helmet itself lacks any stampings but the liner is stamped 6 3/4 REM III 1952. When I received the helmet it came with a chin strap from the 1970’s, based on its ink stamped NATO stock number. I replaced that chin strap with a late war quick release chin strap that was specifically designed for armor corps helmets.
