yup definitely reproduction i don't think they ever used metal cross sections for the MkII liners they used some sort of fiber and stamped the size and maker into that.

10 euros!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I too would have bought it for that even if the inside is more a British configuration I have seen another like this once apparently used in early British training Movies it sold for £60

This is not one of those, I own one used by the Canadians.

This helmet is incorrect to make a restoration from.

ok after removing the extra paint it is an SE62 ex DD helmet only the shades are present now......

Doug why not? :/

Because the chinstrap bales are incorrect for a correct German helmet. German helmets have the chinstrap bales on the liner.

The liner and strap are from the Greek MkIIs, .: World War Helmets - Casque Mark II :.
I think I would have left it as it was as novelty.
