Aussie66 The factory stamps under theAussie66 The shell is an original WW2, Australian manufactured MkII shell with a raw edge. I have purchased a couple of Australian helmet batches from this one dealer; all of these helmets would have been intact and in good condition when stored but poor storage over the decades has wrecked them.
