MacGyver Posted September 20 Share #1 Posted September 20 Hi to all., I need help checking if this helmet is completely original, from the paint, the chinstrap, to the liner. All the best., MR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ww1czechlegion Posted September 21 Share #3 Posted September 21 Chinstrap leather is likely a modern made and artificially aged replacement leather strap. The metal fittings on the chinstrap may or may not be original WW1 era fittings. Can we see close up image of the stitching on the chinstrap where it attaches to the adjustment buckles, and a closer view of the rough texture on the chinstrap leather, both front and back side of the strap (inner back side of strap, I should clarify). Both sides of the strap should be smooth finished on original WW1 era chinstraps. Best Regards, Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
