One cool thing about doing what I do, is that occasionally people from all over the world will contact me with some absolutely awesome items that are quite hard to find nowadays. These are no exception.
These are original WW2 British MKII Helmets that were sent to Pakistan and were used by Pakistani forces from just after WW2 well in to the 1990s in some capacities. These shells have been professionally restored and painted, and had nice quality liners and chin straps placed in them. These come with a British style net, although it appears a little thicker than originals, but worst case, you get a free net and don't need to have it on if you don't want!
These are PERFECT for reenacting and collectors alike. The supply of these is EXTREMELY low, and I won't have them for much longer. WW2 Items are becoming increasingly scarce and VERY pricey, so this may be one of the last opportunities to snag a super nice and functional piece of WW2 History.
NOTES. PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING: Since these are all original shells that were used for decades, these aren't perfect, and these GRADE 2 shells will have flaws that didn't make the cut for the standard grade. Although the people who restored these did a fantastic job, there is more than likely some substantial pitting under the paint (no holes, but a decent amount of pitting) and noticeable repairs (filled cracks with Bondo etc. ) under the paint. I can not see markings on these, as they are either painted over or succumbed to the pitting before painted. All of this is on the insides and not the outside of the shells. Liners run slightly big and can be slightly adjusted.
For a helmet you intend to beat up while reenacting, or just to display, these are a GREAT way to have an original shell, and give a home to a weary old traveler in need of a good home. Anyway, these are all legitimate, despite having no visible markings, and are getting crazy hard to find, especially excellently restored like these.
