On offer is an original World War II Canadian Turtle Helmet, styled after the British Army MkIII combat helmet, widely issued from 1944 onward. This helmet is a true battlefield relic, heavily worn and showing all the signs of authentic military use—making it an evocative centrepiece for any militaria collection or man cave display.

Crafted from steel with a distinctive low-profile “turtle” shape, the helmet has significant patina, rusting, paint wear, and deep dents that appear consistent with field impact—potentially even combat damage. These marks of service give the helmet raw historical presence and storytelling power.

There is no liner or chin strap remaining, and the internal fixing loops are long gone, but the shell remains structurally sound. Traces of its original dark green finish and camouflage remnants are still visible under the heavy oxidation.

📌 Key Features:
✅ WWII-era Canadian or British MkIII turtle-style helmet
✅ Dimensions: Approx. 9.5 inches wide x 7 inches tall

This helmet tells a story just by existing—it may not be pristine, but it’s as real as it gets. If you’re after clean and polished, this isn’t it. But if you want a raw, rugged slice of history with the scars to prove it, this is the one.
