British Home Defence MKIII Helmet

The MKIII helmet was first developed by the medical research council in 1941 on behalf of the British army. The MKIII was first worn in combat by Canadian and British troops on D-Day. This example is painted black indicating it may have been used on the Home front, possibly by Air Raid Wardens, National Fire Service or the Police. The helmet is in very good condition, the liner is size stamped 7, however there are no other visible markings.
