CWG Posted August 17, 2019 Share #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 There Are No Atheists in Foxholes -Anonymous My account is in honor of my late great, Grandfather SSGT Joseph M Gill WW2 - Korea Veteran.

aef1917 Posted August 17, 2019 Share #2 Posted August 17, 2019 Its not a WWI helmet. Looks more like a WWII British Mk 2. Link to post Share on other sites

aef1917 Posted August 18, 2019 Share #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. Link to post Share on other sites

denfly Posted August 23, 2019 Share #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. Link to post Share on other sites
