    Does that C /|\ mark look right? Odd colour, and it seems to be a different design. (Nothing wrong with the helmet.)

    Good eye Bill. It does not sit right with me either. I have not seen that colour before, the shape seems off and at the bottom you can see the edge or corners of the hand stamp.

    Hello, if I understands you, you say that the broad arrow is not good??

    I am not sure if it is correct, I am not an expert just offering my opinion for what it is worth. Just looks different to me.

    As far as I can see there is nothing wrong with the helmet. Several crates of these came on the market back in the 1990's IIRC. I am sure of the Broad Arrow C stamp. It does not look like any I have seen.

    Hi Gate, Yes there are differences, but that doesn't make it good or bad. I checked five tunics I have at hand and none of them have either the red or green type of Broad Arrow C. One distinctive difference is that the arrow has squared ends, not angled ones.
