Hi all. I was really pleased to pick this up for a tenner. I know these transitional helmets turn up from time to time but I like the way that this one encompasses all development stages of the British "Turtle Shell" Helmet.

The shell is obviously a MK III (date obscured by paint) that has been rather roughly retrofitted with a LTD stud to allow it to accept the MK IV liner. It has then been fitted with the last model liner that appears to be dated 1983, thus converting it to a MK V. Named to a Gunner so used at some point by the Royal Artillery. This came with a very thick scrim net on it but I have removed that as IMO it detracted from the helmet and without it the stages of this helmet’s life can be clearly seen.

Hope this is of interest.

Cheers.

Hi all. This helmet has always had a camo cover on so I have only recently seen that what I assumed to be a standard post war RAC is actually a bit different. The difference being the fact that it has 4 small rivets like the despatch rider helmet and it has an inkstamp in the shell that I have not seen before. A similar helmet has already been shown on the forum without the liner:

As for the liner in this, it came with the helmet. Can anyone shed any further light on this? I am particularly interested in the ink stamp.

Cheers.

My friend Garry got this from one of his pickers. The photos are lousy but I don’t like it. The prongs are wider than normal. Thanks for any other opinions.
