Fine to me too, all matching wear.

What I thought too Rene - and nice and salty! I just thought that a loose pin was OK but perhaps 3 was too much but they don't look too loose on reflection.
The marks in the rear skirt and area where the decal was removed show lots of patina so could have been done in service i.e. either pre-45 or not many years after.

Looks like a nice honest combat worn lid to me.

Looks like a nice helmet indeed
I wouldn't be bothered with slightly loose pins, occurs easily just from wearing the darn thing!

Beat me to it. Slightly loose rivets could occur merely from period use. Running around the battle field and jumping into foxholes, hanging the helmet in a vehicle or bunker by the chin strap, etc. Check the prongs to see if they have extra bends (appear like small ripples) in them. That could indicate the liner/rivets have been reinstalled. But at least as far as I can tell from the posted photos the wear of the helmet, rivets, and liner all seem to be fairly matching.
