No Inner or Chin Strap
British MkIV Steel Helmet -- often referred to as the "turtle shell" Helmet
Introduced in 1945, this pattern features the “lift the dot” liner that allows the helmet to remain water-tight (for use as a wash basin in the field, etc.). This helmet is an early production MkIV and is dated 1945 when the MkIII without the removal liner were replaced. The MkIV, in addition to being watertight (unlike the MkIII), also features lower D-rings for the chinstrap. This is noticeable from the outside of the helmet. |
