My Helmets are all from the Irish Army Starting with the 1927 pattern Irish Army Vickers Steel Helmet in Service from 1927 until 1939 then the WW2 MK II Steel Helmet in Service from 1940 to ???? then the MK IV which was in service from ???? to 1985 then the Kevlar Helmet-Orlite in Service from 1985 to 2007 and the Israelis Ballistic Helmet from 2007 to present day Not sure of the dates from MK II and MK IV So if Anyone Know these Dates that would be Great
Thank you

nice grouping the m27 looks to be refurbished, new paint liner and chinstrap and usually the frontal insignia is found to be reproduction ,which in your example im leaning towards ,you do know the liner has been fitted upside down ,you shouldn't be able to see the filler pads from this angle so this is my reason for saying a restoration project ,how did you come by it to your collection ,i would also say your rabintex 201 orlite is israeli issue not irish but hard to tell for sure without better pictures ,thanks for sharing your collection
