20th Century/Poland/PSZ: Polish Helmet Mk II (II Corps)/Eagle

A British, regulation Mk II helmet intended for Polish military units. The helmet shell is factory-painted khaki, with the Polish military eagle in a crown painted on the front using a stencil. The helmet was manufactured in 1938 (the date “1938” appears on both metal fasteners of the lining strap) and was originally equipped with a 1939-production lining (marking: “J.C.S & W Lt | T | 1939”). The original webbing strap is preserved. A beautiful, unrestored piece, preserved in its natural, original condition. Mk II helmets with their original wartime Polish paint scheme are extremely rare on the collectors’ market. Dimensions: 12.5 x 29 x 30.5 cm. The item’s condition is shown in the attached photos.
