    Paratrooper Helmet English first Gulf War...help please!?

    Hello everyone,
    I recovered this helmet English, I think it's a paratrooper helmet and I looked at the date inside I think the first Gulf War?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Regards, Kruger.

                  Helmet

                  Hi Kruger

                  This is a standard Mark 6 combat helmet worn by pretty much all arms of the British Army (AFV crews had their own models for wear in the vehicles) up until fairly recently.

                  It isn't a paratrooper's helmet -the Airborne Forces version is very similar but has a smooth exterior (without the stepped area around the ears), weighs slightly less, has a slightly different lining system and -the big give away-has a chinstrap very similar to the late WWII para helmets in terms of it's design in that it doesn't have the adjustment press-stud device that yours has. The link below shows better than I can explain what the Airborne Forces helmet looks like in comparison to the one you have:

                  http://www.regimentals.co.uk/viewphoto.php?x=-1

                  The cover is the temperate DPM version, there was also a version produced in desert colours which was worn during Operation Granby in 1990-91.

                  It's a nice helmet, and collectible in it's own right.

                  All the best

                  Paul.
