Aussie68

Aussie68 - The shell is an original WW2, Australian manufactured MkII shell with a raw edge. This shell was most likely a civil type; it was painted an old white outside and a blue inside; it is in good condition and without rust or damage. The original brass chinstrap lugs are stamped Mk III and 1942. The steel lot number was found under the flare as 88 (one 8 being faintly stamped) a broad arrow is stamped on the opposite end. The top-nut is a brass salvaged original rethreaded for a new bolt. This shell was stripped to bare metal; it was then primed and painted in olive-drab with a coarse textured outer surface. The helmet liner is an imported replica from SOF in Wales. It has a synthetic frame with faux leather lining. It is a 58cm head size. The helmet has been fitted with a superb replacement WW2 spring/webbing type khaki chinstrap with steel fittings. The helmet represents a standard issue Australian WW2 helmet. It is named to PICKETT 25679 RAAF; a personal acquaintance.
