Hi

Today I got this FJ Helmet.
I think it is a good one and the leather got changed to a smaller one in the war.What do you think?

All the best

Genuine : yes , the liner size 68 is just not matching with the shell size 71 but that happened.

Thank you guys ! Yes it comes out of an old barn.The liner is marked with "Oberjäger Telle".Do you think I should clean it a little bit ?

[RED LION]

just my opinion let is as found.. to clean this piece destroy the patina of the last decades and after cleaning you see
only a rusted helmet .

I would leave it as is. Cleaning it risks ruining it. Just keep it in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and temperature extremes and it should continue to exist for future generations.
