Original British P-1944 Turtle MK IV Steel Helmet- Dated 1954

Description:
Original British P-1944 Turtle MK IV Steel Helmet- Dated 1954

Issued for use in the D-Day invasion of Europe in 1944; this is the next steel helmet pattern to be adopted by the British after the Dough Boy Brodie helmet of WWI. In use through the close of WWII and in regular use through Korea and the Falkland war
The Mk III Helmet was a steel military combat helmet developed for the British Army in 1941. First worn in combat by British and Canadian troops on D-Day, the Mk III was used alongside the Brodie helmet for the remainder of the Second World War. It is commonly referred to as the "turtle" helmet because of its resemblance to a turtle shell
The Mk III was itself replaced close to the end the war by the Mark IV helmet, which it closely resembled
The differences were that the rivets attaching the chinstrap to the helmet were placed much lower down on the shell and the use of a 'lift the dot' fastener for the liner
These modifications allowed the Mk IV to be utilized for carrying water
Complete with steel bowl, original liner and original chin strap
Excellent overall original condition

Price: $149.00
