Scotch Harry Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 This one appears to have been made in black-the colour doesnt appear to be any paint or finish but the self colour of the actual material-RUC made maybe??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer nut Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 As far as I am aware and every one of the Rural Patrol helmets I have seen are in black. The later green ones are proberly the Para helmets, not to sure though. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What colour is it below the Paint?? The Rural patrol helmet or Helmet GRP came out in roughly I think 1975, also known as the NI helmet and is the forunner to the Para and ultimatly the Mk6.
