WW2 British Paratrooper Helmet 1943

A fabulous camouflage netted textbook example of the Mark 1 Helmet , Steel Airborne Troops ( HSAT) dated 1943.
This is the classic Airborne helmet as worn by British Paratroopers & Glider Troops on D-Day & at the Battle of Arnhem . Clearly dated 1943 it is not beyond the realms of impossibility that this helmet may well have been worn during one of those famous operations. A helmet that exudes history , it has a very high proportion of its original khaki granulated factory paint visible underneath the net with leather straps intact. The leather liner band is in good order with rubber covered felt & clearly displays the maker 'BMB' ( Briggs Motor Bodies ) & date 1943 as well as the size '6 7/8' .
A helmet that has most likely been worn in action by an elite soldier of the British Airborne.
