Brit53 1939

Brit53 - Shell: The shell is an original WW2, Brititsh manufactured MkII shell with a stainless-steel banded edge. The stainless-steel factory chinstrap lugs are the MkIII type and are unmarked. The factory stamps under the flare are near a chinstrap lug; they were faintly stamped and visible when the shell was stripped; they read H49 BMB 1939 (Briggs Motor Bodies Ltd. - Dagenham). When acquired the shell was covered in numerous lays of paint; the top layer was a dark olive-drab. The shell was stripped to bare metal and cleaned up quite nicely without rust. It was then primed and painted. Liner:  The helmet liner is an imported replica from SOF in Wales, it has a plastic frame, faux leather lining and a cross shaped rubber bumper. It is a head size 58 cm with a new brass top-nut. Chinstrap: The helmet has been fitted with an imported replica spring/web type, khaki chinstrap with steel hardware. Restored Depiction: This helmet has been painted desert yellow/sand on a textured surface with a khaki cam net fitted. The inner is painted olive-drab.
