My new M-1 with a nice surprise

[NickD]

hiya guys

this turned up today my latest M-1 & liner, i was watching this one on eBay & went for it at the last few dieing seconds as i had a good feeling about the liner & i was right it turned out to be a HR low pressure liner with rayon nape strap & early green buckle chin strap i was well chuffed & my prayers to the collector gods have been answered

the helmet dosent go with the liner as the seller admitted to pairing them up himself to sell as a complete lid so i'll parting them up again as im not really interested in the shell.

this will be my first HR liner please enjoy

hiya mate
im not sure as to the exact going rate of these type of liners but i do know for what i paid for the whole helmet you would pay that for the liner chin strap on its own

how long have you been waiting for your account on USMF to be approved i think i waited for about a day or so cant really remember but i know it seemed quite a while till i could finally start posting. is the user name you signed up there the same as the one here if so i could contact admin there to see if theres a problem with approving your account ???

I reregistered last night using the same name as here its letting me log in but still can’t post mabie I’ve messed it up or I’m not giving it long enough, as i say im rubbish with computers don’t use them in my job.
Thanks again regards
Rod
