    Hi, these Norwegian helmets are getting scarce now, I am however a bit confused as to why the liner is out in some of the images? I hope you did not remove it to see the liner band date? No need to do that at all and it will only de-value the helmet. They are every bit a "one looker" as any other helmet if left in their proper state. Leon.
    Why are you confused ? Never saw a liner removed from the shell ?? You take things WAY too serious Leon.

    What if there is a spider & web inside it ? I would remove the liner to get the little bugger !!

    A chemical attack would be less invasive. Perhaps a "thread" on spider removal from helmets is needed?

    Well, I have to confess, I did take it out to have a better look at it, but it can't be seen anyway that I took it out, since the Norwegians, for some reason threw away the backplates of the rivets, if they had been there I wouldn't have done it, neither would I have done it when it would have been a original German helmet with paint and all, but I did not clean the shell in any way, that is still in as-found condition, in the liner I just removed some green grime or whatever that had accumulated on the brass pins as it didn't look very aesthetic. I was careful when I did it, so no harm done
    I usually would never remove the liner, in this case I just thought, well the Norwegians removed it too, so, whatever.
    And, who knows, maybe there could've been a spider in there, better safe than sorry
    Anyway, lesson learned
