Yep,they are mega rare and even rarer complete with visor.
Need to identify the markings at the rear.
Thanks

Pretty sure a while back i found what it was but didnt keep the info-something bizarre like Royal Artillery Outer Hebridies or something-a fair way away from NI

Re: NI Combat Helmet-1
I think I've sussed it...it means Royal Artillery Right handed , obviously left handers would have had a lid with RALH

It's such an "out there" abbreviation it's got to be right, I'll ask my mate who was in NI, he might know
