By a strange coincidence, I've been able to buy at the same time the Canadian RCHA Bd previously posted AND a Mk II helmet with the insignia of the Canadian Artillery (a blu/red split rectangle) and the 1st Canadian Division square. It looks like the helment was repainted with a layer of sand yellow paint, possibly before the invasion of Sicily.

Excellent helmet! GSW helmets are quite common, but with a flash on it they are hard to find.

Here are a few other General Steel Wares helmets...

Looks an honest helmet.

Cheers, Ade.
