army helmet interior post war of local made

[delibes]

hello everyone

i have this helmet for some years now, i paid peanuts for it so that's not the issue.
i want to know your opinions of the interior of the helmet?
post war to complete the helmet or maybe local made when there was Nothing else.
thank you in advance.

best regards

No clue !! Love the "Blackened" paint/patina. It is a theory they sometimes painted these black for night time raids.

Are the original liner rivets still in place ? What's holding the basket weave to the shell ?

hey real steel

no there are no rivets in place the basket is fixed on the interior loops

Would love for Jareth to see this. I only have a one IJA so do not consider myself an expert but that star looks different...I hope I'm wrong.

The black color might be heat treated bluing. Or is it paint? I totally agree with liner being post war improvised. Just be guessing by whom.

[delibes]

my opinion of the black is heat treated bluing. i was also thinking post war for the interior.
thank you for youre opinions
