Default Royal Marine Helmet????
Hi Guy's,

What are your comments on this helmet. A friend picked it up and asked me
I haven't seen anything like this so was just wondering if you had any ideas.

Regards
Irv

It has a nice St. Edward's Crown on it.

Its a rusty old helmet that someone has slapped paint on without primer and added an inappropriate decal.

Dressing up gear only.

Hi Irv,

Is that an F-S Fighting Knife (Commando qualification badge) on the back?

Cheerio,

Roy

Hi Roy,
That's what it looks like to me. Just a real mis match. Nothing seemed to make sense.
