Very good overall condition. The outer surface of the shell has been covered with a layer of dark grey paint, which may indicate that the present helmet saw service with the Royal Canadian Navy.

Extremely rare genuine WWII Canadian brown canvas material battle jerkin. Manufactured by Z.L.&T. Ltd. and dated 1943. Size: Small.
Introduced in the British Army in 1942 and initially designed as a substitute for the multi-part 1937 Pattern webbing equipment, the assault vest combines the various cargo capacities of the latter in a single piece of gear -- a small pack for individual belongings, a specific compartment for the entrenching tool, some ammunition and grenade pouches, not to mention special sleeves for the spike bayonet and the machette. Additional items such as a holster or a canteen could be attached onto the waist loops.
The Canadian version shown here differs from its British counterpart by an overall better finish and the use of American-style Lift-the-Dot fasteners in lieu of the cord loops with wooden toggles.
Whereas the British-made battle jerkin was issued to some Commonwealth units landing in the first wave on D-Day, the present type, of which only 1,500 examples were produced, was mainly used in training conditions by Canadian forces stationed in Britain.
Complete and in good overall condition.
Please note that the Battledress blouse is shown for illustration purpose only (not included in the sale).
