Re: ww2 german leather liner
All German helmet liners are the pig skin colour , there were no Black liners. But it was supposedly dug up so there could just be discoloration due to the dirt. The last option could be it is a Norwegian post war line that someone has beat up and changed the colour (would not be the first time i have seen that) .

Toned from decay would be my guess?

Re: ww2 german leather liner
If authentic AND ground dug, the black color is caused by being beat up/ chewed up/ exposed to the harsh elements.
Liners should be a light tan color when mint. Use and exposure to sweat, hot and cold, mud, blood, etc. etc. will darken the color.

Re: ww2 german leather liner
Do you guys think its an ok liner band for a helmet restoration. I got it for what I think was a good price (35.00)

Re: ww2 german leather liner
My first impression is that it was from a grave dig- a liner from a battlefield casualty that was dug up.....blood will turn a liner black.....Does it have a scent? Although, even if it doesn't, it still could be excavated-just cleaned properly.

Re: ww2 german leather liner
Yes it does have a odd scent do you know what it would smell like if it was a grave dig?

What do you mean restoration? If you're looking to complete a rusted out relic helmet, sure.
Any helmet in better condition would look wrong with this liner in it.
