About this item
An exceptionally nice example of a Second pattern Tropehelm or Pith Helmet, 1941 dated and in an unusually large size 61.
Made JHS, the helmet is in very good unissued condition the only point of note being two small areas of moth trails on the crown at the front, just visible in the pictures.
The body of the Helmet is formed in one piece from two layers of wool felt with a felt band of the same colour at the start of the flair, the visor then trimmed in a grey green leather. At the top of the crown is a domed vent cover.
On the left side is a stamped alloy Heer eagle shield whilst the one on the right features the national colours. Both are in excellent condition with no loss to the paint.
Inside, the sweatband is leather, the dome lined with a single piece of compressed felt in red.
A lovely example.
