British MK2 Helmet Help ID


Thoran98

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone, I found this helmet but i have not any ideo for this. The store I bought it from has some with the Turkish flag on it. Turkey was one of the support units in the Korean wars and America and England provided military equipment support (available in M1 helmets). Could this be from the British or Americans at that time? I want to find the estimated year and country of production of the helmet. Please help me more id?

Welcome Thoran98, Looks like a British MKII shell the liner is not British, there seems to be a stamp mark on the

chinstrap lugs but I can't make it out. The Belgians used surplus British shells post war until they started to make

their own  helmets.

Hope this helps.
