A04-023 Canadian Tankers Helmet

The liner shell is fabricated from cork, with a six-panel cloth fabric exterior incorporating a black lacquered finish, a reinforcing strip around the entire circumference of the helmet at the lip, a 34 mm wide shock-absorbing pad covering the entire front of the liner, three ventilation holes with black rubber inserts in place, one on either side and one at the rear. The interior of the dome is lined in white cotton, stamped in black ink with the Canadian Broad Arrow insignia and size marked “7” handwritten in black ink at the rear, a 45 mm wide butterscotch-coloured leather sweatband runs around the circumference, the ends of which are stitched together at the rear, an olive green sleeve housing a gray rubber strip acting as added protection under the sweatband, with three olive green webbed straps stitched in place to the body of the helmet in the dome in six locations, the straps interlocked. Good condition.
