Helmet MKII Royal Army Medical Corps British Army

British MKII Helmet – Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC).

It retains its magnificent hand-painted regimental flash on the side of the shell, consisting of three vertical stripes in burgundy red, dark blue and yellow.

A second coat of textured paint was applied to the shell, carefully painted around the regimental flash to preserve it and keep it visible.

The helmet displays a beautiful wartime patina, with signs of use, significant wear and several areas of oxidation.

The liner shows considerable wear, with cracking and losses to its surface coating. The manufacturer's markings have become illegible.

Authentic battlefield-condition helmet, recovered in Normandy, although unfortunately its exact place of discovery cannot be determined.

A very fine example of a British RAMC helmet, preserved in its original as-found condition, featuring a superb hand-painted regimental flash.
