My m34 police helmet has arrived but have some questions

I'm not Leon but I would leave it alone. It is typically frowned upon to restore helmets.

OK thanks I leave it alone, I wish I had the extra cash to buy the other one but he sold it on eBay for $130

I would leave the helmet alone. You can never tell when a nicer one will come along and you can upgrade.

Leon would it be best to retore my helmet aka replace liner with a original with chin strap or leave it as it is

Hi, as the guys have said, leave it as it is, although if you can find an original chinstrap adding that will do no harm. Leon.

"...he was in forced labor him self when Germans gave them war gear and made them fight oncoming Germans..."
Sorry everyone, I meant Germans made Polish fight oncoming Russians.
