WW2 Woolsey Pith Helmet 1942.

WW2 issue Khaki drill Woolsey Pith or Sun Helmet. Worn in various campaigns from the deserts of north Africa to the jungles of Asia during the war. This one is covered in a fine Khaki twill and matching broad pagri. Inside it has the obligatory tin foil lining with a leather sweat band, this is dated on the underside for 1942, also the broad arrow is stamped on the band with a green flock covering to the peeks. It is in very good untouched condition, there is some light staining to the material in various places and some wear, the leather sweat band is quite dry and a little fragile and the original chin stap is missing, but in its defence, men usually removed these as they got in the way.
A good original piece of headgear in good order and measures around a 6&7/8ths.
