Perfect for:
- Helmet Restorers
- WW2 Civil Reenactors
- Living History
- Displays & Presentations
- GPO Collectors
- Museums & Film
This marking and other variations, were used on British Tommy helmets by the GPO in WWII. The stencil is made from very high quality acrylic vinyl with tacky backing, which in layman's terms means its re-usable.
It measures 39mm tall and 114mm wide.
Suitable for hand or spray painting but the 'tabs' on the 'GPO', will need to be hand painted after stencil has been removed if required (many retained the tabs).
