A real early M33?

[AndersB]

Hello again!

What about this alleged early M33? Shell stamp P8 or P9, bail holder stamped AT over 5 in a rectangle, two-leg vent rivets, brown chin strap, eyelets on liner leather... ?

Parts helmet? Is the color right? Visible bare metal patches: Is it possible that the shell has been stripped of a layer of (post-war) paint?

I'm grateful for all opinions!

Please can you post more shots?Chinstarp?At first impression liner seems replaced immediately after the war but hopefully I am wrong...

I agree vith Tora, liner and rivets was replaced, the light greygreen is it right for a prebellic m.33 i like very much that color!

Sorry, I can't get any more shots, but I'm satisfied to hear that it's likely that the liner has been replaced...

THX for the input!
