Sorry to say, IMO, the whole helmet looks like a new creation.
I'm not liking the liner and strap as well
Of course, always wait for multiple opinions.
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated

I agree with MAP’s concerns. And for me the paint lacks the age and patina of a pre-1945 paint job. This was the first thing that stood out.
-
it's new post war repaint with relic parts dropped in it seems or aged repros (liner and strap).
No need to talk about the wire.
Hope you get your money back.

All chickenwire helmets are new fakes, unless proven otherwise.
Old original chickenwire helmets are truly rare, nonexistent.
Its "new" collector trend to have them in helmets, and fake makers do what market demand is.

The rough finish inside the shell is also a warning signal. Many M40s have a rough-finish exterior but the inner finish is smooth. This is not too easy to fake in a convincing manner.

Hello,
I can say that the chicken wire is not period correct.

as others have said its all bad, artificially aged, also the helmet shell started off as a relic as you can see along the inside rim, so bondo (body filler) is present aswell under all that paint. For the textured paint inside the helmet they did that to hide the pin holes and imperfections in the bondo job. Hope you can be refunded.

Actually quite an amateur attempt at creating patina. The liner is laughable.
