Re: Tuck's helmet

I always thought it was probably a 1930 pattern helmet, same panel configuration as a b type, but without the vent up the back so a bit more comfortable to wear.

With the 1930 pattern (well the one I have anyway) the receivor rings are sewn directly to the helmet and then the circular flaps are attached separately. I have always taken Tuck's helmet to be a 1930 pattern without the flaps attached.
