Here's a heavy textured Mk2 with COM DR to the front for commander, of the Royal navy. At one time the sand textured repaint was very thick but quite a lot has come off,but the inside is still very good.
EH is painted & scratched on the inside brim, note how he has folded the chin strap up out of the way, the liner is dated 1939 & made by BMB. The date/maker on the shell is not readable.
The other helmet is another navy helmet with commanders mate to the front.
Most interesting! I have never seen one with a sandy texture. I note the remarkable range of British helmets!
