East German Helmet
Hi Group,
I was wondering if anyone could help me out? I have an East German helmet that I am looking for a larger liner for. The liner I have in the helmet itself is too small for my head. I adjusted to two tabs on the front sides but still too small. I am in need of one that will fit a size 59 or 60 head. Any help would be greatly appreciated...Thanks....Tom

Re: East German Helmet
Thanks for the information. I am new at this so the liner itself would have size on this? It fastens to the helmet via small steel posts that the liner snaps onto. Thanks again...

no the shell has the size stamped into the metal, usually located near the side
you should see these types of markings in the steel shell for example:
II
7
71
II is the shell size [medium]
7 is the month [July]
71 is the year of manufacture [1971]
if you remove the foam padding and adjust it to the largest size and it still doesnt fit your head, you need a bigger helmet
you cant buy a bigger liner, you have to find a size III shell

I heard the liners used on the late type with a snap in liner are only made in one size / universal adjustable size
