Ya did what now?

liner was in place, but split on side of the leather band,
took it out to repair it. but I also might just put it in as is

-
Cant focus on the helmet with the SH#T! Purdue rug underneath it
I-L-L-I-N-I
-
last time I checked the cannon is on our campus. Trophy series record
Purdue leads, 33–28–2 . the way you guys have been playing its gonna be gathering dust in display for a few more years maybe forever

Nice lid, bad rug. It is a courageous thing to remove a broken liner of that age but it is good for me since it is the first time I see one removed from the helmet thus I can observe it's insides!!!
Keep us informed on the repairing project!!

GeneralPutnam, a courageous thing to do indeed ! I personally would of left it alone, as was......however that is my own opinion...... It is a lovely original example of an M16 Stahlhelm in, despite the broken liner, great condition for its age.
If you post the markings, for example the maker size marks, example:- ET66 (it looks to be a size 66) and the series of letters & numbers on the inside of the crown/top, more information can be gleaned.
It just needs a chinstrap to complete !
Prost ! Steve.

The way the liner was split , it was actual hanging down putting pressure and med to long term it was going to end up being further damaged by father time and mother gravity. I did not want to display it upside down. so I figured if it remove it I can prevent further damage. the leather and materials are still extremely good for age which is why I was confident in removing it that it wasn't going to disintegrate in my hands.
