      Hi Petey, there 562 + wD and that British arrow
    4. southcop southcop, 10 years ago
      I tried and opened out the liner for your consideration 10-4 on the tinlid info thanks
    5. southcop southcop, 10 years ago
      Downloaded a new liner pic
    6. southcop southcop, 10 years ago
      Got the Info out of the Internet that either due to Pieces of jute (burlap) inside the liner & earlier Dutch liner this helmet simply transferred hands from the British army to Dutch Bescherming Bevolking (BB or Civil Defense) , dont have any Info on the painting but I assume that was painted by the BB civil defense per se.As far as the liner goes, This may have been done out of necessity or possibly even for wearer comfort??What is mind boggling me is the chin strap!!
    7. tinlid, 10 years ago
      WD might be for the maker William Dobson, the liner & chin strap looks like the Dutch type used early war. Maybe they used up these until 1955-56 when the Dutch started making the Mk2 clone?

      thanks tinlid!!
    9. southcop southcop, 10 years ago
      what about grey type collor?
    10. tinlid, 10 years ago
      The colour I'm sure is Dutch CD, but what's quite interesting is the fixing for the liner. Not seen that before, but then again I'm not really up on Dutch helmets.
