Helmet, Mk II, South African, Camouflaged
€295.00
Tax included
Great genuine WWII South African Mk II helmet, retaining its original liner and chinstrap.
The three holes visible at the rear were designed for attaching a neck flap (not provided here) in order to protect the wearer from insolation.
The outer surface was covered with a layer of sand paint, likely intended for providing camouflage in desert environment.
After fighting the Italians in East Africa, South African troops first saw action against the Germans in North Africa in 1941, prior to participating in the battles of Tobruk and El-Alamein; some South African units subsequently deployed to Italy in 1943.
Complete and in quite good overall condition.
