Yes you are quite correct that nail polish remover (acetone) will lift the dye from Norwegian liners (which I believe is actually a preservative treatment rather than a means to change the colour which would be pointless in itself when economy was the order of the day).
The result will never be perfect though and as you have seen, the reverse of the leather still remains heavily stained. It is a good way of sympathetically restoring a shell with no liner though!
Thanks for posting.
Regards
Mark

Great post, very tempted to do the same with my ex Norwegian/German lid. The name is a great find, just need to work out who it is now!

Yes, I know it will never be perfect, but my plan is to place this into my DD M35 helmet.

I try to do some research about the name, but very hard to read it.

Acetone is a very useful cleaner for those doing a bit of militaria restoration. Quite effective as a paint remover too if wanting to carefully remove a post war over paint on a helmet. Use carefully though.
