Rare WWII MkII Helmet with Royal Engineers Flash

An exceptionally good WWII MkII steel helmet. It left the factory with an early tan gloss finish, this has been overpainted with in a textured dark shade. A Royal Engineers flash has been period-painted to one side. The liner is supple, 1939 dated and in size 7. There are minor knocks and scratches, and the chinstrap shows it's age, though I'd suggest retaining rather than replacing the latter. All in all this is a particularly handsome example of a rare original unit-marked helmet.
