    Interesting that it has an M31 liner, was expecting a civic one, but could also be original to the helmet, I don't know enough about those to say for sure.
    Otherwise looks pretty nice
    The photo where you can see the lot number probably explains why it got rejected, looks a little rough

    To me a so called "one looker". Allthough I´m by no means an expert this one looks good to me!

    Best, Jan

    Hi Jan,
    Thanks your input
    when you say a "one looker" do you mean it as a you would buy a helmet like that on the spot or that you would not touch it at all ?

    A little bit the worse for wear but looks like a well used original.

    Just my first thought, I like it a lot.

    Still would wait for a better preserved example with older possibly period "scratches" on the decal.

    An M31 liner would not be factory installed but it could have been done during WW2 to replace a broken liner OR a collector added it post war. Check the pins inside before you cash out.
