WW2 Canadian Mk2 Helmet Liner Dated 1942 Size 7 1/2 C Broad Arrowed

The WW2 Canadian Mk2 Helmet Liner, dated 1942, is an original component designed for the Mk2 steel combat helmet, standard issue to Canadian forces during the Second World War. Sized at 7 1/2, this liner is marked with the characteristic “C” Broad Arrow, signifying Canadian government ownership and acceptance. Constructed primarily of vulcanized fiber, leather, and webbing, the internal suspension system provided both comfort and stability for the wearer. The liner includes the 1942 manufacturing date, which aligns with peak wartime production. Liners of this type typically feature a drawstring adjustment at the crown and are secured to the helmet shell by a central bolt. These details are consistent with period specifications and typical procurement markings of the Canadian military. The Mk2 helmet and its liner were widely used by Canadian soldiers in major theaters of operation between 1939 and 1945. This item is suitable for historically accurate restoration or reference.
