CWG Posted August 17, 2019 #1 Posted August 17, 2019 Hello, everyone, I saw this helmet today on eBay and it is quite interesting. I'm not sure if it is post war or possibly a field repair anyways its just odd to me. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F264433174398 -Link
aef1917 Posted August 17, 2019 #2 Posted August 17, 2019 Its not a WWI helmet. Looks more like a WWII British Mk 2.
sgtdorango Posted August 18, 2019 #3 Posted August 18, 2019 Im guessing someones attempt at making a hanger to hang the helmet on a wall or something?....mike
aef1917 Posted August 18, 2019 #4 Posted August 18, 2019 Now that I'm not on my phone and can see the photo more clearly, it's definitely a WWII British Mk. 2. The fabric is missing from the chinstrap, but it originally looked like this.
sgtdorango Posted August 18, 2019 #5 Posted August 18, 2019 Aha a british chinstrap skeleton!...interesting....mike
denfly Posted August 23, 2019 #6 Posted August 23, 2019 EBay sellers are notorious for selling WW2 helmets as WW1 models. Note the shined brim seam. WW1 types do not have that.
