Helmet, Mk III, British, TTC 1940, Normandy
€475.00
Tax included
Genuine WWII British Mk III helmet, complete with original liner and chinstrap.
Shell has no visible markings. Liner is hallmarked TTC (Teddy To Co. Ltd. in Dagenham) and dated 1940. The outer surface retains some of its original paint, and digit 8 has been painted at the rear.
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, which is in quite good, worn condition, was found in Normandy.
