WW2 Irish Army Eastern Command Combat Helmet, British Made Mk-II

  
WW2 Irish Army Eastern Command Combat Helmet, British Made Mk-II. This British-made Mark II helmet, dating back to 1939, holds historical significance. While showing signs of wear, it remains in remarkably good condition. The leather liner, though slightly dried and cracked, retains its pliability and can be easily restored. The majority of the liner is in excellent shape, and the undamaged chinstrap adds to its authenticity.

Minor traces of vertigris on clips and rivets are present, but they can be effectively cleaned. The helmet liner bears a broad arrow mark with the number 321 and a stamped date of 1939, offering a glimpse into its history. It is marked a size 7 1/2. Rust and pitting, typical of 80-year-old helmets, can be seen, but the original paint depicting the Eastern Command remains prominently intact.

With approximately 80% of its original paint preserved, this rare Irish Army Eastern Command helmet is a captivating collector's item and a testament to its storied past.
