Helmet, Mk I, Tank Crew, Military Police (MP), 1944, Normandy
Nice genuine WWII British tank crew helmet (Helmet, Steel, Royal Armoured Corps, Mk I), complete with liner and canvas webbing chinstrap. Manufactured by FFL ( Fisher Foil Ltd. ) and dated 1944. Size 7. The outer surface features an interesting bottle-green color; a light grey stripe has been painted around the shell and digit 1 is visible on the left side; initials MP (Military Police) have been handpainted on the front. In good, worn condition, the present helmet was found east of Caen many years ago. The liner has undergone a field adaptation encountered on several helmets from the field in Normandy. The synthetic interior of these helmets was a disaster with the summer heat. The liner was hot and stuck to the head, hence the cutting of it to leave only the perimeter, more than enough to wear the helmet while being less hot.
