M38 Para shell opinions

[Johndanger]

this helmet shell was part of a large collection that was mostly destroyed in a fire.

there is heavy pitting and I couldn't find any markings in the usual places, it does have a nice smile on the visor, also the tabs remaining connected to the spanner bolts are unusual, and I wonder if it was perhaps a post war or other liner added to a genuine shell.

please let me know your thoughts.

do you have any idea what the liner tabs are from?

[Johndanger]

any other opinions?

[Willi Z.]

I have no idea what the tabs are, but the helmet and bolts look original.

[Johndanger]

there was some green grey melted plastic residue on the tabs, I wonder if at some time someone added a later Bundeswher liner before it was burned .

is anyone familliar with the liners of the later para helmets?
