C025784 BRITISH MKII PARATROOPERS HELMET.

Similar in style to the German paratroopers' helmet, the British Mk. II Paratroopers Helmet was originally introduced towards the end of 1943. Its exterior is painted in heavy, sand infused, rough-textured olive drab, most of which has been retained. To the interior, its leather and webbed liner are fully intact, with a thick padding ringing the inside edge of the helmet, with a wider portion to the rear to protect the neck. There are four khaki/tan HBT web straps, with a tie string, is to the interior crown for fit adjustment. Fold over portion of the leather sweatband now missing. Top interior pas now missing. The three point web chinstrap is complete with its chamois leather lined chin cup intact. My best guess on the name stenciled on the front is probably that it was an Instructors helmet either wartime or in the immediate post war period while these where still be worn.
