British Mark One (MK1) Paratrooper Helmet fibre-rim: This is a first class reproduction of a British Mk1 fibre rim Paratrooper Helmet 1942 showing ageing, camo markings, discoloration and heavy wear. This helmet would have been used in the majority of the early to late British Airborne Operations in WW2. It has the brass rivets replaced the stitching normally used to fix the Y-piece. It was not uncommon to find both stitched and riveted 'Y' straps on one helmet! It has been painted up in a camouflage pattern used by the 1st Airborne Task Force for operation Operation Dragoon, the invasion of Southern France, during World War II. It is Tan and Green camouflage colour's which have been heavily worn and rusted. There is also a Lieutenants rank marking to the front which is almost impossible to see, which reflects the one in the Michel de Trez book - First Airborne Task Force: Pictorial History of the Allied Paratroopers in the Invasion of Southern France. This is a high quality aged helmet. Email me for your custom made one to your specification!
