Superb WWII MkIV Tropical Issue Helmet

An exceptionally crisp example of the MkIV. An evolution of the MkIII, differing primarily in having the liner secured to the shell via a lift-the-dot fastener, allowing the shell to be used as a basin. Initially designed and introduced for issue in tropical theatres, it became general service issue post-War. This example retains almost all of it's original textured paint finish, the liner is supple, 1945 dated and in a large size, 7 1/4 (the latter has been indicated on the shell in chalk by a quartermaster, though this will brush off). The chinstrap retains it's elasticity. An excellent example of this Far East issue helmet.
