Airborne Helmet Camo ?

[Guest Fred Karno's Army]

Can anyone shed any light on the Camo applied to this para helmet,I don't even know what date it is until it arrives in the week,but any ideas on Camo .

I,m thinking its just a personalised camo painted by the soldier, its definately a combat camo, either France or Netherlands, it could even have been copied from a German helmet cover, or a representation of one

BTW, thats a bloody nice looking helmet, saw a couple at Odyssey yesterday, in the £600 bracket

Should be with me Tuesday or Wednesday,it will be interesting to see what date it is .

@Davejb how times change,I was jumping through hoops when I sold my glider pilot 44 dated helmet with H type mask for £650 ,but that was 20years ago,my two 44 dated webbing chinstrap helmets I sold for £150 each and thought that was a record lol.

Nice helmet.to my mind, it looks like post war TA modification/updating, maybe even regular Para, who'll ever know?interesting variation nevertheless.
