Everything on the helmet matches I’d get pictures of the split pins just to be sure that liner belongs in the helmet but to me this looks like a nice Helmet.

Yes, you are correct, i wrote the wrong maker, its an EF!

Got overbid last second, the helmet went for 370.

Seen that one, too.
It looks fine to me, just keep in mind that the liner is quite damaged. Perhaps the stampings that hold in the leaf springs are broken or heavily worn.
If you look at how low the leather is in the liner band it seems quite "sunken" into the shell.
And obviously that the stitching both on the chin strap buckle and the rear seam of the liner leather are torn/broken.

I have a relic condition 1939 liner band that I restored for reenacting which has one of these broken and you can push the leather in creating the same effect as on the front section of the liner in this helmet.

Just something to bare in mind is that liners did sometimes shrink and change shape a bit. There are some examples of this on Frank’s site under “M31” liners.
Looks like a former non-commissioned officer helmet that saw some hard use.

Dangit, I hate when that happens! Better luck next time.
