Re: my new helmet i want to restore any coments
I would leave as is Barry - the vent hole will ALWAYS be different to any German maker ( a bit like Quist but not enough ) and the liner and strap may well be original Finnish too. In years to come people will be looking for unmolested examples and you may wish you hadn't pulled it apart.
I'd look for a TR example to restore!

Re: my new helmet i want to restore any coments
i would leve it just that air vents and shape of these post war helmets will not look right as a ww2 lid you can get 42 m40 shells or somtime with liner for a good price and these ones will be post war painted ones anyway ie black. i got a m40 shell a while ago for 40bucks and pianted it up and put decals on it and gave to a mate to hang with the rest of his bits in his shed. but its your helmet.

i still think its a good helmet if you can get the rivet and washer for it. the finish army used a wide range of still helmet threw out the years and the one you have is a good example.
