M35

Hi.

Is this liner original?

Can you help?

Thanks

What leads you to doubt it? It looks fine to me.

Looks fine to me as well

as far as I can see its a steelbanded liner and since the thread is called M35 I would have expected a Alu liner or it is a re-issue.
But, since we have not much ( pics ) to go on...
liner it self looks plausible.

It was a guy,who had his doubt about the liner.

My opinium is,that it is original.

But I wanted to be sure,so therefore i needed some expert advise.

Thanks again.

An original liner that would have been originally issued in the M-35 helmet would have the bales (the loops the chinstraps attach to) that are squared off, not rounded like what these appear to be. Maybe a re-issued liner but it does appear to be a WW2 liner albeit just not the one a M-35 left the factory with.

Liner is period original, just not the early type issued with early M35s as Denny said, it is most likely re-issued - which was common practice.

Hope this helps,

Asper

You helped me a lot.

I learnt something today, about the bales DennyB talked about. I diden`t know that.

I agree. It must be a re-issued helmet.

Thanks for your help.

Are you sure its an M35?

could just be the quality of the pic, but i dont like condition of the split pin(eagle side) compared to the condition of the helmet
