Re: WW2 helmet? Hi,
I agree with Nick; the liner is WW2, the sweatband looks like a 1950's (better photos please). The shell looks like a late WW2 issue with after war chinstraps.
A good WW2 production, probably a reissue for Korean war.
Best regards from Alsace , France.

Re: WW2 helmet? Just goes to show, poor photographs create confusion.
I bet that's a 70's/80's sweatband, or a repro though!
Better photos PLEASE.......

Re: WW2 helmet? For Posterity.
Hey, Michael. Unclip the sweatband at the rear buckle and refer to my earlier post regarding DLA numbers etc, and you can date it exactly. It's not a repro.
Kind Regards,
Andy

Re: WW2 helmet? Mike, don't leave me this way! I bet the whole world earlier on this thread that that sweatband was 60's/70's
I would really like to know the date.
Seriously though, that's a nice lid. Good for the price.
