FJ lid, just in , Willi help ;-)

[Daniel.S]

Hello, just got my hands on a FJ-lid. Got it from a guy who inherit it from his grandfather. He also got an P08 and holster for it.

Unfortunatly this guy didnt know what he was doing and painted som stuff in it and (i think , he didnt tell me) also throwed away the liner.

I know this lid has all the features of an original one based on what i have been reading here, but i still have some questions what to do, i have never before owned an FJ-lid (cant afford it ;-) ). The Helmet comes from Belgium where his grandfather had it since the war. It have a nice ET 68 stamp and in the back of the rim an 934. Also it has a nice Domestamp, unfortunately the guys who painted what u see also painted over parts of the dome stamp :-(

Should i try to remove the white painted text? Should i try to get an liner for it ???? Is it even possible to find a liner??

I have never owned a lid like that so i would like to know what you all thinks of it....

Thanks

Hi Daniel

I also think your shell is good
If you are thinking of stripping the new paint off try a search. I think there have been a couple of threads in the past dealing with this. I can't remember where they were posted but the safest bet would be the helmet forum.

Hi Danne!

Very nice helmet

Of course the shell is authentic. I would leave the outside alone. If the white paint inside bothers you, and this was done in 1997, I would CAREFULLY remove the white paint. I would then leave it as is. I doubt you can find an authentic liner and strap. The helmet will display fine as it is. My opinion only.
