Probably post war police use.
The liner is definitely postwar...
Agreed it looks like a post war Finnish liner, the rear liner pin looks like a rivet so I’m not sure how they would remove the liner if they had too
The liner also looks like in german police postwar helmets, M53. Yes... liner pins are rivets! You could not remove the liner...
At least they would be tight!!!!by MichalMag

The two front pins still look like original split pins, odd that they put a rivet in the rear.
Hello,
the inner liner is from the West German police pattern 1951 (the M53 is a different inner liner). But it looks pretty messed up.
The M42 helmet appears to have been repainted.
In my opinion a restored WW2 helmet using a police lining.
Regards
Ok, thank you.
You think its restored nowadays? Not from 50's-60's?
More photos, comparison with postwar made M40.
