I have been busy looking at all the suggested sites, nothing has taken my fancy yet, maybe im to fussy, still its fun looking. I like the second Helmet here ?????

Thanks Lyndon
 
Hi Lyndon:

I don't like the liner in helmet number two. The shell is configured for the M16/17 liner (in this case, M17), but look where the replacement chinstrap is attached. It should be connected to the sideposts in the neck apron. It is possible this is an M18 liner band, but the liner pads themselves appear to be reproductions.

IMO this is a parts helmet.

Chas.
 
The liner pads in helmet #2 look very much as if they are from a Swedish helmet, particularly with the blue cloth pouches on the back.
