M42, strange liner
Hello
I am new here. I found this Site while searching for inmormation on liners like the one that is in my M42 Helmet. I thought I should try posting pictures here, maybe someone knows something.
Stamps:
Lotnumber: 4379
Shellsize: CKL 66
Thank you for your time.

Yes, this is not a combat issue M31 liner. You would often see this liner system in civilian helmets which can be seen here: https://germanhelmetvault.com/civic-liners/
You can check the pins internally to see if washers are present and/or the prongs are bent.
Welcome Snovilo!
Agree, looks like a civic liner was crammed into a combat liner band.
Cheers,
Terry
