Opinion about m38 liner pad

[Julfrenchie]

I add that when i use a flashlight on it, i see all the little shiny points on it.

It was mounted on an helmet yes

And you took it out of the helmet ?

As it was told previously, it comes from a complete helmet i have. That helmet was fully dismounted by previous owners... and as each other parts are fully originals, i wanted an opinion about this pad as a part. But it come from a fully complete ET68 helmet.

I always thought that the foam had to be tighter. It is something I use to check on liner pad. So I was wrong ?

Your photo shows a late-war liner with black rubber. The original poster is showing an earlier type of rubber pad - the type seen in about 1940/41.

Thanks for the reply Steve.
Yes, I know. The picture was showed to understand what I wanted to mean.

The only reply received shows that I had to be wrong
However, even early pads are imo made from tighter foam, with very small holes quite near each other.

Those are all pads from DD M38s - a different kind again. I am talking about the type found for a short period after these . See below.
