Hi finally got my ww2 British para helmet did love it at first but unsure now i know the strap is a repro the guy who sold me it said he knew it was and gave me the web one to change over to if i prefered.The liner looks old was a bit suspect at why the date is gone but gave him the benefit of the doubt.Now that i receive it in the post ive turned up the leather band and it looks new ? but the rest old?? very puzzled guys then again should it look as good as new but the rest old ? i know it has seen no light for a long time but thought it would age also.The leather band that holds the liner in is broke in places so is definately old i think.
