Help Dating a Mk III Helmet
Collapse

The liner has a post war date, probably a replacement, but by paint color, liner attachment style, and position of chin strap rivets this is clearly a Mk III not a Mk IV. I can't find a date stamped into the metal shell. Is it possible this is one of the very early '43 shells that were not stamped?

From those pictures it looks to have been painted post war olive drab, but the early Mk3's were painted khaki green.
I expect the first Mk3's were made by BMB, the date/maker stamp will be vertical to the rim at the rear of the helmet.
If it's an RO&Co the date/maker will be horizontal to the rim.
