German liner details

[nige300]

Hi Gentlemen
Thank you in advance for your feedback....i have some german helmet liners . some have green painted liner bands and some do not ,does it have to be painted field green to be orginal? second question one of them has domed split pins that hold the leather is this orginal or a postwar reissue?
many thanks Matt

the springs can be green and unpainted , unpainted is later in the war.
The domed liner retaining rivets are not wartime in steel bands , I see it has green copper verdigris so they are problably Norwegian post war.

Yup, that looks like a Norwegian liner.

If the spring bands are not painted in green lacquer, make sure they are coated with zinc. Plain blued steel is a sign of a repo set of spring bands. Also, the domed brass leather retaining pins are post war Norwegian.
