rescued M42
Hi People thought you might like to check out this ckl 66 ?. when I found it, it had a fresh coat of light grey paint that fortunately did not cover the decal and I was able to remove the paint easily with some of the wife’s nail polish remover, it also had a very rusty 2 sizes to small liner with decent leather installed and original to the liner rivets, this was removed and fitted to a suitable relic M40 that now looks heaps better also.
I sourced some replacement rivets online and I think they match the helmet well, I don’t think I will try to replace the liner as the size stamp is a bit indistinct and measured around the rivet holes it comes out at 68cm.

Being quite eager to start removing the new paint I neglected to take before photos, hope you like the end result.
