WW2 British Mark II Paratrooper Helmet

WW2 British Mark II Paratrooper Helmet

These quality reproduction WW2 British Mark II Paratrooper Helmets are made with that familiar steel and adjustable webbing chin strap, as per the late war models. The difference between this MKII helmet and the MKI is the webbing - this one has an adjustable canvas webbing, whereas the MKI is made of leather.

While the MKII was more widely used after September 1944, it was first introduced in 1943. These reproductions are based on these helmets, with the liner bearing the 1943 stamp.

Features:

• Steel shell with fine texturing
• Top-quality, thick leather liner
• Rim made from one piece of steel, as per the originals
• Adjustable canvas chin strap with brass-coloured buckles
• Leather chin guard
• BMB stamp on liner - to denote Briggs Motor Bodies Ltd of Dagenham, who made helmets for the British Military until 1943
• Excellent reproductions of the original helmets

These helmets were designed to be worn when jumping out of a plane, and so had a tight fit to make sure they don't come off. The chin strap can be adjusted for a comfortable or tigher fit depending on what you would prefer.
