Original M42 shell made by CKL but with repop liner and chinstrap. Note the mismatched paint on the rivets - they have come from somewhere else.

Can we get a better pic of the buckle on the strap as well as the backs of the liner retaining pins? If you pull the inner liner band gently you should be able to get a good view.

H'mm, now the liner looks much better.... still not the original but maybe AN original?
If you could look at the backside of the leather there may be some marks to indicate that. Also the felt will look its age - hard to describe but modern felt is softer. Have never seen an original chin strap that was ink stamped though.

I think the liner looks original but agree with Dan that it perhaps doesn't match the wear to the shells exterior. Chinstrap including buckle looks good but that ink stamp on it is out of my comfort zone, never seen anything like that before but hopefully it will check out.

Yeah didnt mean for you to untie it, just hava peek with a torch & mirror.
Still, proves that it is a good one. Rivets look tight but I still think its been carefully put together.
A good one to exercise the brain cells on. :-)
