liner marked 1943
Just trying to work out what the two small holes are near where the decal was
Hmm.
The chinstrap is a Czech one I think. Does the leather split into 2 bands for the chin? Beyond that I can't really help. The number stamped in ink is odd, I'm thinking post war use of some kind. The 2 holes at the side for insignia are ringing bells but I can't remember seeing that on a 42. Curious lid.
The two holes are in the correct location for a flaming bomb device used by the Austrian rural police during a post war reissue. I am not sure of the chin strap, many of the post war Austrian police reissues I have seen have webbed straps. Jim G.

Ade & Jim got it. The flaming bomb insignia was what I was thinking of.
What did you pay for it if you don't mind me asking?
