Helmet, Mk III, British, CCL 1943
€425.00
Tax included
Genuine WWII British Mk III helmet, complete with original liner and chinstrap.
Shell has no visible markings. Liner is hallmarked CCL (Christy & Co. Ltd., London) and dated 1943; size 7. The outer surface shows a few stains of light-colored paint, which may correspond to a camouflage.
Produced from 1943 onwards, the Mk III, offering a better enveloping shape than the Mk II, retains its predecessor's liner. It was not used in actual combat conditions before June 6, 1944: on D-Day, the 'Turtle' helmet was worn by British and Canadian units involved in the first wave of the amphibious landings.
The present helmet is in good, worn condition.
