Nice lid, but I would lose that odd liner cord.

Hi, well done, that M42 has real character. A superb example. Leon.

It's an EF 64. One can tell by the "flat top" to the dome that EF M42 helmets display. Not rounded like other makers. Nice pick-up

Looks like there may have been a repair to the liner as well, replaced tongue?
Nice looking lid.

Good eyes - does look like another line of stitching is there

[MAP]

Liner has not been repaired. It is a late war liner made out of two or more separate pieces that appear to be laminated together. You can see in the top arrow from Dan's photo that it is not stitched but laminated.

Refer to Kens book page 428 for details (for large liners 61cm or late war measures)

I like the chin strap. Hard to see the photos but is it a repair?

I would take the chinstrap off the brim. It's already hanging by a thread.

Nice helmet!

Yes you're right Michael. I had forgotten about the glued liners.......getting old.

Cheers. Dan
