BRITISH WWII PARATROOPER HELMET.

An early paratrooper helmet known by collectors as the 'Fibre Rim'. Marked BMB 1942 size 6 7/8. The helmet is mint used condition; the riveted leather chin strap is supple as is the orange sorbo rubber in the liner. The light coloured leather sweatband is clean and the paint finish upon the exterior of the helmet matches the inside overall, an original scrim cover in place. The chinstrap fixing bolts retain the red paint as shown, a tell-tale sign of an untouched example. British paratrooper items are rapidly catching up in value with their German equivalent and this is the best example we have seen in recent years.
