I've had the shell for this one sort of hanging around for a while, it came without a chinstrap, and the liner crosspiece was burned.
Today I had a rummage in my "covers nets and straps" drawer, and fished out a net that I thought would be OK for this type.
The chinstrap I had bought a while back, the quick release type, which I was assured was the correct one for this helmet, though I'm not sure.
It's clearly marked 1945 though.
The pot is a nice light khaki, with no sign of an overpaint, and seems totally unmarked, at least to my eyes.
So after my mini restoration job, she's ready to take her place amongst her "friends!"
Comments and criticisms welcomed.
Best Regards,
Andy
EDIT:
Forgot to mention, the liner is marked FFL III 1952.
