ArchangelDM Posted November 5, 2019 Author Share #11 Posted November 5, 2019 When I’m back I will search for a name in the liner, fingers crossed I can get a lead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickman983 Posted November 5, 2019 Share #12 Posted November 5, 2019 Wow, I'm not sure how you're going to contain yourself for those three weeks, I know I'd be like a kid waiting to open presents on Christmas morning! I'm really looking forward on seeing/reading more on this one when you get it in hand. Do my eyes deceive me or is that a Hood Rubber liner?

I'm really looking forward on seeing/reading more on this one when you get it in hand. Do my eyes deceive me or is that a Hood Rubber liner? Thanks for the kind comments. Its a rare low pressure liner, could be an SC or hood , made 1942 for sure. So falls in line nicely for a raider set. Whats awesome is that the paint thats on the inside Of the liner is the paint used on the outside of the helmet, so both are original to each other. Plus the liner looks to have been camo painted. All will be revealed - Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a rare low pressure liner, could be an SC or hood , made 1942 for sure. - Dean A great helmet indeed...! I'll vote for a Hood liner at this point, I don't see the slight cut-outs on the sides for the bales like a St. Clair would have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
