Description
British/Canadian Turtle Helmet
British/Canadian turtle helmet, marked 'RO & CO DI 4/1952', captures a piece of military history. It includes a reproduction snap-on liner that maintains the original design's integrity.
Helmet features a front rim seam and swivel bales, although two loops appear to be replacements, marked RO & CO GG 4/1952. An internal band from a later period, marked C.W.L. 1972, adds to its historical layers.
