Here's a recent find from a local militaria show. It has one missing rivet holding the liner and one prong has broken off the badge. Otherwise, all intact. Liner is cloth and the chinstraps have been shortened and tied together into a tight knot. The original grey paint has been re-painted over with a lighter shade of grey, which you can see in the internal pic. The colour of the helmet is actually darker than the pics show. Hope you like it - all comments welcome. Seven pics to follow.

Regards
Russell
