Thanks Andrea.

Interesting. I've just looked at your article on this on GHW and I see what you mean.

Is this something that could have happened during wartime - wrong size and maker leather replaced in a helmet with the rear seam out of place? Or is it more likely to have been messed with post war?

you're welcome Andy. good that you looked at that study which might be of some help in cases like this.

We know helmets were reworked, liners were swapped etc...in wartime. For ex heads sizes same as shoes, some people have half sizes.

a possibility was that a 62 head would have fitted to a 64 maybe no helmet was available in 64 so they took a 62 shell. But as said above it could be hard to make it out if was done wartime or not.

but you can check one thing...</blockquote><br>
