Euro-clone shell looks like an early type Danish M48 or French otan 51 either way not US produced.liner looks in great shape.............Jake.

Jake, I've already got a Danish M48, the paint has a different colour on that one. And the chinstrap looks different. Would the liner be WWII era?

MSA liner is late war type from june 44 onwards with blackened brass A type washers and complete and in nice condition too,hope you didn't pay too much for this rig?.........Jake.

I've paid $50 for the complete helmet, dont know if that's too much though.

Thats ok,about £35 British sterling,the liner is worth more than that on its own so not a bad deal,you have done ok on that one.............Jake.

Agree. US liner - Clone shell.
Nice MSA liner worth $45-$50 USD.
If the leather chin strap has a green buckle, that can be worth $100 by itself.
If not probably worth $15 (just the leather chin strap because they always break at some point).

Thanks for feedback.
The buckle on the leather chin strap is blackish unfortunately not green.
Just curious what gives the shell away as a Euro clone?
Cheers, Mads

The 3 grey rivets on the short chinstrap is usually seen with m48 shells,also the bale is the wrong shape too,also there should be a number stamped into the rim at the rear next to the seam..............Jake
