#PA26 MKII Steel Helmet for Airborne Troops
Original MKII steel helmet for airborne troops, manufactured in 1944 during the Second World War (SWW) and used into the post-war period. Some sources suggest this scheme is attributed to being used around the time of the Suez Crisis in 1956. Post-SWW, the MKII remained in service and was last used by members of The Parachute Regiment during the Falklands War. Despite being SWW era parts, during the post-war years these helmets were often refitted and serviced. The Imperial War Museum (IWM) has a very similar helmet in their collection, catalogue number UNI 13482. The IWM described the paint on their helmet as olive-green with swirls of black paint added in a random form. The chinstraps have a bit of black paint on them which confirm they are original to this helmet. A correct scrim camouflage scarf is included to complete the display.
