authentic ww1 leather helmet leather in very good shape liner still good very rare pic

He yet says it's authentic. A very rare picture! One would hope that he does not depend upon the income from the sale of these helmets. You do have to love the shape of that spike. Hard to find one shaped like that. :-k

How did the soldier who wore the helmet adjust the liner to fit his head?

Duh!! With the (invisible) adjustment cord that goes through the (inexistent) liner holes… :-"
