Bugme Posted October 18, 2018 Share #1 Posted October 18, 2018 This is a repurposed WWII British helmet likely used by Israeli medics during the 1948 Arab/Israeli war, one of many conflicts they faced in the early days of their reestablishment as a nation.

Tony v Posted October 25, 2018 Share #4 Posted October 25, 2018 Very interesting fact, never knew that this existed. Seen one many years ago at a flea market and even the gentleman selling it did not know anything about it, and I left it on the table. Thank you for posting this helmet.

Tony Thanks Tony, I wasn't sure what it was when I got it either. I "assumed" it was medical in nature but, it took a friend who collected IDF to confirm what this was.
