Another addition to the collection.

Now this Sonderfuhrer visor is not a rare cap, however, the chin cords are not often seen which makes this visor somewhat rare. These chin cords were approved in mid-1944 and are constructed of blue-gray and silver sections. A very solid cap manufactured by Erel with proper ventilation hardware. Interior lining is loose in the front (attributed to many "looks under the hood" IMO).

Please enjoy photos and if you wish to see other shots please let me know.

Gday to all,
I have a French M26 Adrian helmet. It is French due to the split rivets. The shell is over all in pretty good shape.Now comes the question most people ask, if the insignia is original. I have no way to determine this, but it seems that the insignia has been for a long time with the helmet. The chin strap seems to be original with the helmet. The problem I’m having is the liner. It’s synthetic not leather. I read some were that they came out after 1940 but have no source to confirm that. For sure is that it was with the helmet for a very long time. There is a stamping one one side of the liner which is not readable anymore and on the reverse side it carry’s the number 60 which I assume is the size of the liner. I got it for a good price. The comb seams to be out of aluminum as well as the rivets that holds the (spring?) that holds the liner clips into place. Comments are very appreciated.
