    Does anyone have measurements of the British mk2 and mk4(turtle shell) helmets. I think I've made some a little small but I would like to be able to make a scale comparison from actual measurements.
    While I'm on, measurements of the German m34 would be good for future reference too!:)

    Hello Martin, still got my grandads helmet. Don't know which MK it is. He served from before WWII until well after. Will see if I can dig it out for you.

    Thanks Barry, if it's circular it'll be a mk1. The mk2 is more oval.

    Thanks, but that's the problem no one puts any measurements on these sites! At least with fire arms people usually give an overall length.
