WW2 era Onwards Solar Topee - Royal Engineer's British Army Officer's sun helmet in absolutely mint condition.
It was found in a box that had probably never been opened - hence the helmet is perfect. It has a London maker's label on the inside and if you want one you will not find a better one - it simply cannot be upgraded.
It has a Queen's crown Royal Engineer's cap badge on the front and the badge does come off easily - but this type of helmet existed between the wars and onwards so it is impossible to date.
Please check the photos for a detailed description of the item.
