Is this an inland liner?

Just want to confirm my suspicions that this is an Inland Liner.
Any thoughts?

I attended the local militaria show this past Saturday, and found a Japanese
medal at one of the tables. It is a Japanese ‘Order Of The Sacred Treasure’.
I’ve been looking for one of these ‘higher grade’ enameled medals for
a while, and stumbled across this nice 5th Class version.

It came in a lacquered box with gold kanji on the lid. It is missing the lapel
rosette - no worries. 5th Class medals in pure silver have gilt inner rays
at the 3, 6, 9 and 12 o’clock positions. The reverse of this medal has
a small ‘M’ stamped on the lower arm - Osaka mint ?

I’m not sure exactly what period it is from, but I’ve read that earlier
pieces have rivets on the back………

What on earth is that?….

This is on Ebay at the moment as an M1 helmet, but this seems like some sort of Frankenstein of helmets. The seller is from Finland.
Looks like a Post-war British type liner?(Clone maybe). The seam and chinstrap attachments looks like M1 helmet type.

Itl be on show at Londons Mall Galleries from the 26th Sept and its possible to vote for it ( which if i win will enable me to but lots of militaria :rolleyes:) Seriously though . Id appreciate anyone near or in London interested to vote for my piece . Im one of 151 exhibiting for the prize . Was logistically fraught !
