RAC Mk1 Steel Helmet

Very nice WW2 Royal Armoured Corps Mk1 steel helmet. The first steel helmet adopted for use by tank and RAC crews was the RAC Mk1 Steel Helmet. This used the same shell as the Dispatch Rider helmet and second pattern airborne helmet which has a metal rim fitted to the edge of the body. The Mk1 pattern RAC helmet was fitted with a Mk2 liner as found in Mk2 helmets, this was held in place with a bolt and nut. This helmet is in good used condition with a nice light coloured paint, hard to find in this condition. Liner is maker marked, dated 1942 with size 7 1/4.
Used by British, Canadian and Polish armoured crews.
