Scarce 1943 Mk1 Royal Armoured Corps Steel Helmet

A most pleasing and totally original Mark 1 RAC steel helmet retaining much of its factory-applied textured paint finish and wartime fitted camouflage net, this early variant has the bolt-through liner fixing and is totally undisturbed, there are remnants of unit flashes to both sides of the shell.
The liners cradle is stamped BMB (Briggs Motor Company) and dated 1943, the rexene tongues are not damaged but slightly dry with age as are most found today, the shell has a couple of areas of light surface rusting/paint loss from where its been stored on its side for decades but remains solid.
A most desirable helmet and how I like to find them, totally untouched.
