Default Helmet Crash Royal Armoured Corps

It's a British Helmet Crash Royal Armoured Corps they are made of fibre and replaced the earlier cork Helmet Crash Royal Armoured Regiment. It appears to have the original "scrum" which held the ear-phones.
For some more information on Second World War tank helmets see

Hi Mathew, about 15 years ago there seemed to be a lot of them around, but they were all small sizes to fit 4 year olds. nothing to fit an adult sized head. May be they were around because the unused stock was disposed of then. The issued sizes were probably disposed of or surplussed out years earlier.
No idea on price sorry.
