I won my first helmet on ebay. I spent some time reading the threads on this forum to make sure I bought a WWII helmet and liner. I did get a WWII helmet right?

I was thinking about buying correct period chin straps for the liner but after seeing an $85 dollar bid on the leather strap…I think I’ll go repro.

It looks like the liner is pretty much worn out. Not surprisingly the seller neglected to show a clear view of the liner in his listing.

Looks like the liner was repainted. I can’t tell what’s under there but its a red and yellow decal on the first layer of paint.
