**NEW**RAREST OF THE RARE ! - WWII British Tank Commander's Helmet ( DUG Libya, TOBRUK AFRICA )

WW2 British Tank Crew Helmet Found in Libya The basic MkI paratrooper helmet shell was not exclusively used by the airborne divisions. The Royal Armoured Corps adopted the basic MkI paratrooper shell with the addition of the liner of the “Helmet, Steel, MkII.” From the outside, it is actually easy to recognize that one of these tanker-modified shells is not a paratrooper helmet. It will have a single rivet at the top of the dome, and one rivet on each side for the chinstrap mount. This helmet was officially designated “Helmet, Steel, Royal Armoured Corps, MkI.” This helmet was one of two found in Libya, North Africa. The condition of the shell is solid but relic with some minor holes at the top. Non-Dug ( Less attractive to me lol ) go in the high 100's ..
