Re: Green M40 ET66
They used cork spacers to change sizing and fit the liners in flush, the liner band itself is made from some kind of fibre sheet material I think, but there are lots of variations. Cheap components went into these civic and second line lids. I don't know if cork was scarce but things like aluminium and steel were more efficiently used in manufacture of combat helmets, and pretty much everything else
Is that coconut husk looking stuff not just a layer of padding on top of the liner band itself?

Re: Green M40 ET66
you're right its just a layer of padding, underneath the band looks like its made out of cardboard but its much harder.

Re: Green M40 ET66
Just got offered another beaded helmet (dark blue/blackish) in similar shape, the seller is asking for around 100 dollars incl shipment, would that be fair price?
Cheers!

Re: Green M40 ET66
Nah, 100 bucks is way too expensive - give me the guys name and I'll set him straight ( and grab it for myself, ha ha )
Seriously, go on and grab it - that's a good deal if complete!

Re: Green M40 ET66
Sounds original but pics would be ideal to confirm. $100 is a good price as the guys say.

Re: Green M40 ET66
That looks like a post war repaint to me actually, for fire service etc. I don't recognise the liner system.

Re: Green M40 ET66
Round cork spacers are usually seen on post-war helmets and yours are very similar to the spacers for a M52 police helmet - not sure why they would be on a beaded M40 though.
