    Were they bare brass, or did some of them have a silver wash ?

      Very nice FJ camo posted on Virtualgrenedier site for sale. Interesting is that the strap is reported to be 'Stocko 4' and notice the button design. Never seen this design before. Perhaps it is what lies beneath the plastic cover of a button? The "T" portion of the chinstrap looks to me to be rather crude and most likely a replacement.

        Great helmet ! Funnily enough we both spotted this today, I have posted it below on a North Africa type paint discussion thread...
        The picture you have posted does look like a replacement part to me ...

          ....although even if so, well used and period.

            The snap cap was used by Stocko as far as I know. Seen them in brass but most certainly they were manufactured in steel as well. The snap caps on one of my bandoleers have this floral type cap. They are a period design.

              I have that pattern on a few canteens. This one is PRYM 4 .

                A database would be a very good tool to have. Liner manufacturer and fittings used could highlight if a certain manufacturer was supplied with a specific fastener stud.
