Allegedly Sabre sales in portsmouth have Mkv royal armoured corp steel helemts in at the moment.

These are *exactly* the same shell shape as wwii airbonre helmets although the chin strap is very different... they willhowever do wonderfully for our events.

Chin strap is not right but for WWII airsoft it will be fine.

Thanks for the heads up.

Ordered ours today with nets too.

I'm going to spray ours with krylon matt OD simply because I don't like the shine, unless that's a major faux pas.

Originals vary. I've seen matt and vynil finishes.
