Hi Guys,

I need some help about this helmet cover? Is it a original 2nd pattern cover? I’m little worried about the hooks.

Thank you!

A named officers tunic formerly belonging to Captain (later Major) Michael Brian Davies-Jenkins 1st Battalion Royal Welsh Fusiliers. It dates to the period the RWf were part of the Welsh Infantry Brigade (1960-1969) which is shown by the Welsh Dragon AA buttons which were later used by the Royal Regiment of Wales. The missing collars would have been the standard bronze RWF officers Dragon on a flaming grenade.

I saw this m34 helmet with a strange decal on it. These are the only pictures I have and can get from the seller. Does anyone know this decal? Is it a fake?

Also good to know, he sells it as a firebrigade helmet. So he probably isn’t beware of the decal.
