Re: Ss sd m40 relic (project)
I like it. Got no problems with sexing up a lid that can pull it off like this one can. I say superb job!

Re: Ss sd m40 relic (project)
I see no problem with adding on things that are easily able to come off. I put original drawstrings in a couple of my helmets. Very nice!

Re: Ss sd m40 relic (project)
Obviously, to the purists there will be some reluctance to accept that this is an original relic now that there are add ons, but as you state these can come off easily enough and if you come to sell i see nothing wrong provided you endorse that fact, i like the sympathetic way its been done and if its for your own enjoyment all the better

Re: Ss sd m40 relic (project)
Hi Guys and thanks for your comments. I took time in choosing the liner and chin strap that were as nackered as the shell. There is nothing worse that parts added to a helmet that stick out like a sore thumb. I am always mindful of the old phrase " You can't polish a turd!" and thus, I didn't want to turn this into an obvious Frankenstein.
I have added to this helmet for my own collection. If I ever sell it, I will of course advise that the additions are not original to the shell. (as I have in this thread). As for the purists, they can simply remove the liner and strap if prefered.
Cheers again Chaps!!

Andy-
You must collect in a way that is in your comfort zone. A nice job on your part.

Re: Ss sd m40 relic (project)
Ditto, I too think the work you have done complements this helmet
quite nicely. 'Restoring' helmets in this way is a good thing, IMO,
but when something is made to cheat and decieve,
that is where it is wrong..........!
