I am posting some "before" pictures of 2 helmets that I will be working on. The one is obviously a Bavarian M95 helmet which needs the front visor restitched and a new liner. You can also see that a chin strap has been added below the M91 side posts. I would be interested in hearing from members if they have seen this before. The leather strap looks period as do the buckles but there is no way that this is correct. The strap does not even pull down to go under the chin. So in my mind, the strap has to be removed.
The other is a Prussian M15 helme without markings but I am told by the owner that the fittings indicate M15 Arty. The front visor has been bent/cracked at some time and of course we need a new liner. Hopefully some original visor trim will help. Here are some pics, Brian.
