WW2 Canadian Army Mk2 Steel Helmet With 2 Tone Net Size 7 1/4 Maker CLC Dated 1940

The WW2 Canadian Army Mk2 Steel Helmet presented here is a combat helmet issued to Canadian forces during the Second World War. It features a shell made of pressed steel, painted in a wartime finish, and is fitted with a two-tone net over the exterior intended for camouflage and reduction of glare. The liner is marked as size 7 1/4, suitable for a medium to large head. The helmet bears the maker’s mark “CLC,” identifying it as a product of the Canadian Lamp Company, one of the primary manufacturers of Mk2 helmets for the Canadian military. The date stamp “1940” confirms its production early in the war. The Mk2 closely follows the British MkII design and was standard issue for Canadian ground forces in various theaters of operation. This example retains original features consistent with Canadian production, including the distinctive liner and chinstrap system of the period.
