WW2 British NFS MKII original or reproduction?
Hi
Picked this NFS MKII up at a Military Fair today for a reasonable price. I strongly suspect it’s a bit of a put together, HBH shell marked either 1938/39 the liner is double stamped with FFL MKII 1943, non original liner bolt and the cross shaped padding inside the liner has been replaced with a piece of sponge. The chinstrap is a MK3 elasticated strap.
Reference the markings, what do you think original or reproduction?

Liners get replaced,hard to say when but in principle I see no problem, it happened. As an example lots if south african helmets had their liners replaced in 43 with british liners

Whatever
its just an opinion.

Ps, the markings look textbook and period imo

I agree with Jerry. It could’ve been grouped together during the war.....or a week ago.
There ARE copy NFS and Fire Force transfers available....but these ones look pretty safe.
Oh, and talking of “textbooks”...... :-)

Thanks guys for your help, very much appreciated

Markings look fine and original to me also.

Here’s a photo of the liner, apart from EBay does anybody know where I might be able to get parts for the liner? Original mounting bolt, crown pad, adjustment lace.
