Hello all,
Can anyone tell me the difference between the M40 and M43 German WW2 helmets, and are the liners interchangable?
The picture is of an M40, (I was told), the liner has a (??) XII 43 marking.
Many thanks for any info.
Cheers,
navyman.

That's an M42 you are showing. The flared edge you see is folded inwards with the M35/40. All German WW2 combat helmets used the M31 liner system.
Thank you both for the information. Now I can catalogue it correctly.
Best regards,

The M35 has a grommet vent, a separate piece added to the shell while the
m40 & m42 air vents are stamped into the shell
