helmet has 6 small rivets. Inside liner is like the
metal shells last type : removable plastic circle with leather made of two
parts sown onto the plastic. Both leather parts are "loose". |
|
helmet has 3 small rivets. Liner has no plastic at all : the circle is made of cardboard. Liner is made of fine whitish leather (real good quality); one piece leather (not like previous one) like the WWII type but the 8 lugs do NOT have the 5 holes ! None of the parts of he liner can be removed... they are all riveted together to the shell. Between the liner circle and the shell, the are 4 orange "sponge pieces" riveted to the circle (2 in front 2 in back) with 2 rivets probably for confort reasons...This helmet is a brand new one !! |
|
helmet has 3 BIG rivets...positionned slightly higher
than on the other helmets... contrary to the rivets above,
those are removable type (just like the Wehrmacht ones). Liner is
approximately the same as helmet 2. Has 8 leather lugs but these
have the 5 holes. The two ends of leather liner are sown at rear (zigzag
stich). In the front, the leather has a nice design made of very small
holes (probably for sweat purposes). |
