The helmet is complete with its original liner and leather chinstraps, the chin cup is missing chamois lining. The size liner is nicely maker marked 'G&S' indicating production by the company of 'Gimson & Slater' from Nottingham, a rarely seen manufacturer compared to the more often encounterd BMB made helmets. The date can't be read but most likely dates 1942. The liner is showing the expected traces of usage and age as often seen with these helmets, see photos. Stunning and rare original early British Airborne helmet which will be perfect for a Market Garden (Arnhem) display!
