Norge Helmets Update
I'm glad I got mine when I did. Thought I'd post a few updated pics with the now red dyed correct liner on the M40 (you can see the dye even on the chipstrap and buckles) which is on the left (shown in the prior post). The M35 (ET66) on the right was brush painted even "greener" (only exterior tho) and interestingly enough, does not have the liner dyed red so my guess is that because of the repaint and liner it had been quickly re-reconditioned.
Nice. Would assume the round tacks/rivets on the leather by the liner band are brass?by ironratt
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them
"Don't tell me these are investments if you never intend to sell anything" (Quote: Wife)
I would expect that as a characteristic of the Norwegian refurb along with often re-sized large liner leathers cut down to fit smaller liners.
I really wish I had left one of mine alone at least

picked one up myself a bit ago really like it the liner is a very cheap replacement liner the norwegians put in them probably for a just in case situation.
Well, that is not the post war Norwegian refurb liner I am used to seeing which were original German liners treated/ modified by the Norwegians.
There may be other evidence out there to the contrary but to me this liner and strap looks like a cheap modern copy I'm afraid.
The shell is good though.
