Here is my latest. I had not bought one since last March !!

Have to be very picky these days with the prices being almost to a point of insanity...but this example was on my "Wanted list" for a long time.

Nice 1940 pigskin strap...full dome stamp

Thanks, D

Thats was a one looker.

Baeutiful color on the liner, I guess its a different dyeing of leather by the manufacturer.

Congrats, David!

Thanks guys !!

Hey Jan...I have a few helmets with this shade of leather. Maybe after some 80 years of storage conditions...that might have a lot to do with it. I have an array of bleach white leather in so many shades. Maybe the manufacturer...discoloration from wear ?

Here is my bleach white M42 liner & my M35 repaint. Quite a difference of tanning shades

Thanks, D
